In Brief
E YORKS: More than 80 firefighters battled for 24 hours to clear what is thought to be the region's largest chemical spill in a decade on the M62.
Emergency services were called when a tanker carrying 30,000 litres of benzole crashed and began to leak.
Its driver was taken to hospital but his injuries were not thought to be serious.
The motorway was closed and traffic diverted while firefighters from nine different stations fought to contain the spill.
