A major road near Nottinghamshire was covered in biscuits as a lorry shed its load. Ilkeston Road in Sandiacre, Derbyshire, became partially blocked in both directions due to the accident at around 5pm on Monday, April 4.
The load of McVities food items, which included ginger nuts and bourbons, were crushed on the road between Stanton Gate and Starch Lane. Erewash Police, who responded to the incident, joked on Twitter: "Please bear with us this evening whilst we try and ‘digest’ this issue."
"A lorry load of McVities finest have decided to abandon ship causing a slight obstruction!" In a follow-up tweet at 8pm the force showed three recovery vehicles from Crouch Recovery parked up at the scene.
