Man in hospital following crash near Grantham

A man has been taken to hospital after a single-vehicle crash on the A15 near Grantham.

 The crash, involving a skip lorry, took place on the A15 between the A52 roundabout and the Osbournby roundabout.

Police were called to the scene at around 7.52am on Tuesday, September 13 and the road was closed at 9.21am to assist with the recovery of the vehicle. The road had to be cleared of debris and the vehicle was finally recovered by 11.13am.

According to Lincolnshire Police, the driver of the lorry was taken to hospital for treatment, but his injuries are not believed to be life-threatening.
