A huge mound of animal waste spilled onto a road in Tameside last night with emergency services called to the scene.
The waste covered parts of Park Parade and Scotland Street in Ashton-under-Lyne, near the roundabout at the BT Telephone Exchange. The Manchester Evening News understands the waste spilled from a vehicle after a crash.
The roads had to be closed off while the incident was cleared. Pictures showed a huge pile of waste strewn across the road.
