Video footage shows black smoke and flames coming from the driver's cab, as the clouds became darker and thicker, reports the Record.
A second clip taken shortly afterwards shows the lorry completely engulfed by the blaze. The fireball had consumed the entire length of the vehicle, with some of the truck's panels seemingly melted away by the inferno.
A Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) spokesperson said: "We were alerted at 3.06pm on Tuesday, June 7 to reports of a van on fire on Meadowfoot Road in Drumclog, Strathaven. Operations control immediately mobilised two appliances to the scene and firefighters extinguished the fire.
"One casualty was passed into the care of the Scottish Ambulance Service and crews left the scene at 6.30pm after ensuring the area was made safe."
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “Officers were called to assist SFRS with traffic management following a lorry fire on Meadowfoot Road, Drumclog. The road was cleared around 7.55pm.”
