A FUEL spillage has caused a main road near Hapton to be closed off.

Police say a collision between a van and a lorry occurred just after 4pm today, on Accrington Road.

Paramedics treated the drivers for minor injuries at the scene.

But a hydraulic fuel leak from the lorry prompted traffic officers to close the A679 between Bentley Wood Lane and Rosegrove Lane.

The road is expected to be reopened once a clean-up operation has been conducted.
