A main road in Lancaster was blocked to rush hour traffic after a major fuel leak following a collision between a recycling truck and a tractor.
Emergency services were called at 6.08am on Monday and a clean-up operation took place after fuel leaked from one of the vehicles onto the road near the Royal Lancaster Infirmary.
South Road/Penny Street Bridge was closed in both directions from the Pointer Roundabout and Thurnham Street in Lancaster.
The closure also affected bus services.
Bus company Stagecoach tweeted at around 8am on Monday: "Due to an accident on A6 by the RLI and Revolution we will not be able to serve the RLI stop going southbound for the time being."
A Lancashire Fire and Rescue spokesperson said: "Two fire engines from Lancaster and Morecambe attended a road traffic collision at Penny Street, Lancaster.
"The incident involved a tractor and a rubbish truck. Firefighters made the scene safe and were in attendance for one hour and twenty two minutes."
