A section of the A395 in Cornwall was closed in both directions today after a lorry collided with a tree, resulting in a fuel spill and significant delays near Hallworthy. The incident, which occurred around 11:35 am near the Egloskerry turn-off and The Wilsey Down, led to extensive clean-up efforts throughout the day as debris and fuel covered the road.

Emergency responders quickly established a road closure to allow for the safe removal of the tree and cleanup of the fuel spillage, warning that the road would be closed “for some time.”
