A5 reopens after overturned lorry is recovered at Gledrid Roundabout
The A5 north of Oswestry was closed in both directions this morning due to an overturned lorry.
The road was closed between the B5070 and B5069 with motorists being diverted through Chirk during the closure.
The lorry carrying poultry ended up on its side at the roundabout at around 2.35am this morning.
Four fire appliances including the rescue tender were mobilised from Oswestry and Wellington with an operations officer.
Fire crews investigated the area using a thermal image camera and one environmental grab pack was used to protect storm drains from fuel spillage.
The poultry being transported was transferred to another vehicle.
The road has now reopened.
