Migrants had planted the dramatic blaze in order to bring busy lorry traffic in Calais to a standstill, before sneaking on board a vehicle.

The video of the midnight terror shows the trucks refuse to stop – instead, the drivers force their vehicles through the dangerous inferno.

Terrifying dashcam footage from Calais sees a British-bound truck face a life-threatening 'wall of fire' lit across the road.

Flames can bee seen streaking across the road as lorries charge through the blaze

Flames can be seen streaking across the road following the carefully orchestrated roadblock of flames.

The blaze stretches across the entire road with smoke rising into the night while a number of men dash across the carriageway.

Many lorries slow as they approach the flames and some cars can be seen halted at the side of the road – which the migrant men run towards.

However, both the lorry in front and the truck filming show no signs of slowing as they charge through the inferno.

They refuse to let the determined men clamber aboard their vehicles.
