The lorry driver, a man, suffered an arm injury, but did not require transport to hospital.

Police said they expect the A605 to remain closed between Elton and the Warmington roundabout for at least the next few hours and possibly into the evening rush hour period.

Fire crews, the Magpas air ambulance and East of England Ambulance service paramedics also attended the scene along with Highways England as a road sign was damaged.

Motorists are asked to find an alternative route.
