The incident happened shortly after 6.30am. Police were called to the scene where the lorry had flipped over on to its side.

No other vehicles were said to be involved in the incident, which happened outside of Crown House Veterinary Surgery.

At the time, the vehicle was carrying a shipment of Rapeseed Oil which spilled out onto the street.

Council workers have been called to the scene to clear up the spillage. The street currently remains closed whilst the incident is dealt with.

The police have also confirmed that the lorry was going too fast for the bend in the road causing the lorry to overturn.
