UPDATE: A4103 Withington. Police diverting traffic. Our crews working to clear up fuel spill and, once lorry has gone, we will inspect road surface for damage. We hope that the road will be partially reopened within a few hours, as soon as it is safe to do so. No injuries. pic.twitter.com/n611D4Xesu
