According to a firefighter from Caversham Road fire station the lorry was carrying bottles of domestic bleach, which have spilt onto the carriageway.

Highways England have said that once the lorry has been removed they will be able to assess the full extent of the damage and decide whether they need to resurface the carriageway.

If you haven’t already made different travel plans, we should suggest you do as soon as possible.
