    Crashed lorry causes chemical alert

    Three fire crews and a chemical support unit were called to the A20 between Dover and Capel this morning after a lorry crashed into the central reservation.

    The road was closed for a while following reports that chemicals were leaking from the vehicle.

    But fire fighters discovered that only the batteries on the vehicle were leaking, and there were no chemicals involved.

    The Polish lorry driver was unhurt.

    The accident happened just after 6am as the vehicle was heading towards Dover, between Capel and Aycliffe.

    Police are investigating the cause of the crash and Highways Agency officials are repairing a length of the central reservation barriers.

    Just seen on the BBC traffic reports that there were two accidents closing that piece of road but no details of the other one.
