Footage shows water spraying from burst pipe

Footage has captured water spraying into the air from a burst pipe in Hinckley.

Severn Trent said it had closed Clarence Road - in the town in Leicestershire - to motorists, and was carrying out emergency repairs to the burst pipe.

The company said its priority was to work "as quickly as possible" to fix the pipe and return the road to normal.

A spokesperson said: "We understand that emergency repairs and road closures like this can be an inconvenience and we thank everyone for their patience while this is being carried out."
