    The A61 at Ripley has reopened this morning after a collision involving a lawn mower caused a gas leak last night.

    As well as closing the road, emergency services advised nearby residents to close their windows.

    North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service said a crew was called to the scene just after 6.30pm.

    Its incident log said:

    "A crew from Harrogate and an officer from Ripon responded to reports of a grass cutting machine that had impacted a large gas main and caused it to rupture creating a significant leak.
    "Crews stood by and assisted with traffic management whilst gas engineers excavated to locate the leak and worked to isolate the supply."


    Northern Gas Networks was on the scene soon after and firefighters issued advice on social media.

    Traffic between Harrogate and Ripon was diverted through the village as engineers worked to repair the rupture.

    The road is open this morning.
