An overturned tanker on the A66
A tanker driver suffered minor head injuries after his vehicle overturned on a major Teesside route.
A section of the A66 eastbound was closed for more than three hours after the 38-tonne tanker carrying non-hazardous liquid tipped over near South Bank at 12.30pm today.
Diesel from the vehicle was spilt on to the road.
Emergency services including police, ambulance and fire service attended and the driver was taken to hospital suffering cuts and bruises and later discharged.
The road between Cargo Fleet Lane and South Bank, which was closed while the tanker was recovered, has now reopened.
