Lorry accident, January 2013

Gannow roundabout in Burnley leading to junction 9 of the M65 was blocked after a lorry toppled over in January 2013.

The large skip wagon tipped hundreds of bags of rubbish on to the road with the stricken lorry left lying on its side after the accident in icy condition.

Traffic was diverted for several hours until the lorry could be rescued and its load picked up.
