Firefighters have been called out to a milk tanker on fire near Carnforth.

The road was closed in both directions on Wednesday as crews tackled the HGV fire between Carnforth and Over Kellet.

Crews from Bolton-le-Sands and Carnforth fire stations were called out at 8.12pm.

"We closed the road in both directions to allow firefighting and a safe working area," said a Carnforth Fire Station spokesperson.

"We used a hosereel jet, lighting, small tools and a thermal imaging camera to help put the fire out.

"We returned to station at 10.45pm."

Here is a video clip of the incident, from North Yorkshire Weather Updates on Facebook.
