A617 closed after logs spill out in lorry crash

An overturned lorry has shut a main road between two towns in Nottinghamshire.

The A617, between Newark and Mansfield, was closed at Micklebarrow Hill, Averham, before the Friday morning rush hour.

A lorry carrying logs had shed its load, said Nottinghamshire County Council.

Traffic diversions were set up from the A617 at its junctions with the A612 and A614.
