The extent of the damage and disruption caused by a scrap metal lorry overturning on one of Liverpool's busiest routes became clear today.
Pictures taken at the scene show large amounts of waste material littering the road at the Rocket flyover, while the vehicle itself was left badly damaged. Fortunately, the driver is believed to have escaped with only minor injuries and no other vehicles are believed to have been involved.
Cranes were needed to move the tons of scrap metal from the roadway. Meanwhile, another team was busily sanding down the eastbound carriageway, which remained closed to traffic while the clear-up operation was carried out.
