Fire and rescue crews freed two casualties and a dog from a vehicle that had crashed into a dyke near Louth in the early hours of this morning.

Whole-time and on-call firefighters from Louth were called to the collision, which involved just one vehicle, just after 2am on Sunday, March 27.

The car had crashed into a dyke on Station Road in Legbourne.

Both people involved in the collision were checked over at the scene by East Midlands Ambulance Service medics.

Earlier that night, Gainsborough fire crews attended a chimney fire at a property in Ravensfleet Road in East Stockwith.

It was caused by a build-up of soot in the chimney.

Roads around the BP Service Station in Little London, Spalding have been closed by police due to what’s been described as an ‘ongoing incident’.

Police have asked drivers to find alternative routes on the morning of Saturday, March 26.

Traffic does not appear to be too heavy in the area at the time of writing.
