Petersfield scrapyard fire closes road and railway line

A fire at a scrapyard has closed an adjoining road and railway line.

Crews from six fire stations were called at 12:30 BST to the John Huntley site near Petersfield, Hampshire.

About 40 firefighters are tackling the blaze in a pile of scrap metal.

The railway line has reopened, but part of the B2070 – The Causeway – will be closed to motorists for about 24 hours, police said.
