What a pickle! Thousands of pickled onions spill from overturned lorry

A lorry driver was left in a bit of a pickle after his overturned vehicle spilled thousands of pickled onions across a carriageway.

A sea of silver-skinned pickled onions spread across the road near Drax in North Yorkshire, after the lorry crashed while trying to navigate a roundabout at around 12.30pm on Tuesday.

Hundreds of black barrels containing the pickles burst open after the impact on the A614, pouring the tasty treats across the edge of the road on a grassy verge.

Despite the eye-watering scenes of carnage, no one was hurt.

Sean Stewart, from Goole, Yorkshire, took some photos when he came across the accident.

‘I’ve never seen so many pickles in my whole life. I just couldn’t believe my eyes’, the 50-year-old pickle enthusiast said.

‘It’s lucky the pickles rolled away from the road otherwise there could have been a serious accident,’ Mr Stewart added. - Metro UK
