An overturned fuel tanker has caused part of the A14 to be closed in both directions, causing delays in Northamptonshire and Cambridgeshire. | |
The tanker overturned close to Junction 15 near Keyston at about 06:30 GMT, causing ethanol to spill on the road. | |
Police said long delays were expected and the dual carriageway was likely to remain shut between Junction 13 and Junction 21 into the afternoon. | |
Drivers are being diverted via the A605 through Oundle and the A1(M). | Drivers are being diverted via the A605 through Oundle and the A1(M). |
The East of England Ambulance Service said the male driver, in his 40s, suffered a "non-serious" head injury and was taken to Hinchingbrooke Hospital for further treatment. | |
Cambridgeshire Fire and Rescue Service said due to the flammable nature of the liquid, the road would be shut until the tanker leak had been fixed. | |
Environment Agency workers are at the scene to aid fire crews and stop the fuel spilling into nearby drains. |
