Drivers were greeted by a scene that was enough to reduce any motorist to tears when thousands of onions spilled across a road after a lorry overturned.

The A134 was blocked in both directions near Cockfield in Suffolk, between Bury St Edmunds and Sudbury, at about 13:35 BST following the pungent pile-up.

Suffolk Police said no-one was badly injured when the lorry tipped over.

A clear-up operation is under way but until the lorry is removed the road remains blocked, officers said.
