A road has been shut in Manchester city centre after a HGV leaked diesel.
The incident happened on Quay Street, opposite the Opera House Theatre, just after 8am.
Fire crews from Bury and Salford, as well as Greater Manchester Police, attended.
The lorry's tank was damaged and leaked around 150 litres of fuel onto the road.

The road remains closed.
A spokesman for Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service said: "It was leaking diesel onto the roadway, around 150 litres.
"Police were in attendance managing traffic and helping recovery of the HGV.
"We assisted with the clean up where residual diesel was on the road. We used absorbent mats and sand.
