M53 Partly Closed Following Tanker Accident

Two lanes on the M53 southbound are closed between junctions J3 and J4, due to an accident.

A petrol tanker is reported to have toppled down an embankment at around 10.30 this morning.  The driver is unhurt and there were no other vehicles involved.

The road was re-opened shortly after 3:00 pm, once the vehicle had been fully removed.

An investigation is underway to establish the cause of the accident.

The incident comes only three days after a fatal accident involving a lorry just a few miles away on the M56 near Warrington.  Driver Tony Sainsbury was sadly killed in the accident, when the lorry he was driving fell from a bridge onto the carriageway.  More here.
