An oil tanker involved in the collision with a cargo vessel off East Yorkshire's coast is on fire.

The two ships involved are the oil tanker MV Stena Immaculate and a cargo ship called Solong. The Immaculate was carrying jet fuel - the company that owns the ship says this is now leaking into the sea.

All of the crew from the Immaculate have been rescued safely - there were more than 20 people on board.

So far, 32 people have been brought to shore. They are being taken away in ambulances and their condition is unknown.

A coastguard rescue helicopter from Humberside has been on scene alongside a Coastguard fixed-wing aircraft and nearby vessels with firefighting capability and lifeboats have been dispatched from Skegness, Bridlington, Mablethorpe and Cleethorpes.

The alarm was first raised at 09:48 this morning, and marine inspectors are already gathering evidence to determine the next steps.
