“It is thought that a vehicle travelling in the opposite direction drove into the path of the fire engine, causing it to leave the road.

“No one was seriously injured and an investigation to find out what happened is under way.”

The road was closed for some time last night for crash scene investigation work to be carried out.

Arrangements also had to be made for the vehicles involved to be recovered from the scene.
