The crane was reported to be leaking hydraulic fluid on to the road, and the Highways Agency have been informed.
Suzanne Guswell, of caravan store Caracamp, said: "It looks like the brake fluid on the crane has failed. The police have come down and closed off the road."

“Must be a big crane.
Perhaps its a Heron.
