A CRASH on the M180 involving two HGVs and three cars left one man with minor injuries.

The incident, which saw a curtain-sided lorry turn over and diesel spilt on the M180, happened about one mile west of junction two, near Belton.

One man suffered minor injuries and was cut from his car by firefighters from both Humberside and South Yorkshire Fire and Rescue.

A Humberside Fire and Rescue spokesman said: "We rescued one male casualty.

"He got taken to hospital by ambulance."

The injured man was not thought to have been seriously hurt in the collision.

Humberside Police's casualty reduction officer Pc Barry Gardiner said: "There were the usual problems when you recover a heavy goods vehicle.

"Two vehicles hit each other. The curtain-sided lorry turned over."

South Yorkshire Fire and Rescue used hydraulic cutting gear to free the trapped man from his car before he was taken to hospital.

Humberside Fire and Rescue crews used a grab pack, soil and special paste to clean spilled diesel from the carriageway.
