Came past in this morning on the clockwise stretch looked pretty nasty…tailbacks horrendous guessing a lot of people will be getting late deliveries today :cry:

couple of years ago i had to go and clear a load of carlsberg beer bottles from a crash on the same section-lots of them were still intact.shame they were on their way to be filled though… :unamused:

Hiya…can’t have been strapped in very well or they’d have not fell off,
well according to vosa…LOL yes i’am joking
feel sorry for the driver what ever happened, just in the wrong place at
the wrong time.

They took their time cleaning it up, that’s for sure. What did they do? Lick it all up personally?

It was the wait for 4000 Kebabs to go with it.

900 drivers arrested at the scene for drunk driving / staggering.


Looks like he only lost the top layer, what hit him looks like the trailer has been peeled open.

Straps and nets worked well though.
