Numerous emergency services are at the scene in Cantley this morning.

Police, fire crews and paramedics are all at the scene in Goodison Boulevard, Cantley after the HGV tipped onto its side.

Traffic is building up in the area and motorists are being diverted away from the scene as emergency crews carry out their work.

Footage shows the lorry laid on its side, with numerous fire and police vehicles surrounding the stricken vehicle.

It is not clear if anyone has been injured in the incident or whether strong winds from Storm Isha were responsible.
