The vehicle was on the A49 at Longnor near Church Stretton when the Shropshire Fire and Rescue Service was called to reports of a fuel spillage at about 8am.

A spokesperson said the diesel spillage was the result of a damaged fuel tank.

"Crews filled hole to fuel tank and used sheets to soak up fuel spill," the spokesperson said, adding that police highways officers were also in attendance.
