An electric bin lorry burst into flames on Monday, forcing roads across London’s West End to close.

Specialist crews were deployed to the fire after the £580,000 electric lorry caught alight in the morning.

The lithium battery-powered trucks were recently launched under Sadiq Khan, the Mayor of London, as part of a green initiative to reduce carbon emissions in the capital.
