Fire brigade called to report truck fuel leak on A49

The vehicle was on the A49 in Longnor, near Church Stretton, when Shropshire Fire and Rescue Service was called at around 8am to reports of a fuel leak.

A spokesman said the diesel leak was due to a damaged fuel tank.

“Emergency crews filled the hole in the fuel tank and soaked up any spilled fuel with sheets,” the spokesman said, adding that highway patrol officers were also present.
