Wow quercus63 welcome to GE

Thats a really nice find , there seems to be a few fire engines and a transporter further down the road. Hope nobody was hurt

i was actually one of the persons involved in this incident and can confirm Nobody was injured.

the lorry was travelling southbound from the m62 junction 8 when it tried to negotiate the roundabout too fast. the lorry overturned onto its nearside spilling almost its full load of household waste over the surrounding area. the red vehicles you can see in the picture are recovery wagons that attempted to right the vehicle but a third vehicle needed. metal cables were attached to pull it back upright. the whole incident lasted for about 3 hours and caused traffic chaos during rush hour.

even though the road was later completely closed to aid in the recovery process some drivers where still asking could they get through !!!!!!!!!!!!
