Motorists in Lincolnshire have been warned of a sizable oil slick following a severe crash near Boston. The incident, which took place late on Thursday night, involved a car and a heavy goods vehicle on the A1121 Boardsides, a stone’s throw from the A17 junction. Due to a substantial 50-metre oil spill, the road is still under closure as officials clear the area. Lincolnshire Police have underscored the potential risk, remarking, ‘Some drivers have been attempting to negotiate the spill. This is strongly discouraged – it carries a considerable risk to you and other road users if your tyres lose traction.’
