TRAFFIC was delayed after a pile of top soil was dumped onto a main road linking Padiham and Nelson.
A grey Land Rover Discovery had shed its load after being involved in a minor crash, police said.
The incident, at the junction of Cuckstool Lane and Barrowford Road at Fence, blocked the road and brought traffic to a halt at around 2pm.
Nobody was hurt, police said.
