Police are there, with motorists being diverted around the van.

Resident Mick Cairns spotted the vehicle as police arrived at the scene and said: “I was only passing by when the tow truck turned up and the police were holding the traffic both ways.

“It had happened at least half an hour before I got there. The traffic was way back to Lord of the Manor [building] and up the other way to St Lawrence.”
