A39 closed in West Somerset due to lorry fuel spillage


A major A-road has been closed due to a lorry fuel spillage, after a collision involving a van and a HGV.

It happened on the A39 in west Somerset, between Washford and Bilbrook at around 07:15 BST, with police saying the road closure is causing long delays for surrounding routes.

A spokesperson for Avon and Somerset Police said: “The collision has resulted in a substantial amount of fuel to leak from the lorry. One occupant of the van suffered minor injuries and was assessed by paramedics at the scene.”

Devon and Somerset Fire Service added one appliance and an HGV environmental protection unit was sent out, with all passengers “freed” from their vehicles.
