Highways Agency are responsible for the fabric of the road itself - local authority are responsible for cleaning up. Anyway, yes, should sue esp if it's been reported.
some may recall that we had the mother of all diesel spills on my road and beyond about a year ago (caused by sending double deckers down a little road with speed humps) - it took 4 days for the council to deal with it cos they didn't have the right sort of absorby stuff
. It's a miracle no=one got hurt (but I did warn my 2-wheeled visitors about it)
