Daily Mirror website has the story, just minor injuries for the driver according to the article. Can't make out from the images in the article if the lorry was loaded but based on the images i would imagine that anything that was loaded on that trailer has been destroyed. Think it was a single stacker, the wheels seem a little big for a double stacker

Today's Service Update says
One of our vehicles was involved in an accident and caught fire on the afternoon of 3 January on the M5 motorway.
We’re sorry that some Royal Mail Tracked items posted from the South West of England for delivery to parts of Scotland and North West England were destroyed in the fire.
Investigations are underway to identify and contact the likely senders of these items.
