A crew from Selby alongside appliances from Humberside and West Yorkshire fire service responded to multiple calls of a vehicle well alight on the hard shoulder of the motorways carriageway.
The incident happened on the Westbound carriageway of the M62, late last night (Sunday 16 June) at 23:59.
Crews used breathing apparatus and hose reel jets to extinguish the fire safely.
It is believed that the fire had been caused by an electrical fault in the vehicle.
The incident was left in the hands of highways who moved both passengers to a safe location.
