A tanker overturned and spilled a flammable, toxic chemical across the road on Friday evening. The motorway was subsequently closed in both directions after Humberside Fire and Rescue Service put a 300-metre exclusion zone in place around the tanker following the incident.

The Highways Agency had to wait for the area to be made safe before they could repair the road and replace a section of the central reservation that was cut away.
