Not a good day at work (Picture: NTI)
Cider lovers look away now.
Thousands of cans of Strongbow cider spilled out on to the road recently after a lorry transporting the drink overturned.
If that wasn’t bad enough, when emergency services tried to pull the truck back on to four wheels they managed to tip the remaining cargo out on to the road as well.
Before you go crying over spilled cider, spare a thought for the motorists who were stuck in traffic near the crash in Worcester yesterday.
One driver, Driver Mark Harris, 23, said: ‘The smell of booze was overwhelming.
‘When I finally got home my missus was convinced I’d gone to the pub.’

The driver of the truck was unharmed, and the road was re-opened a few hours later after a digger had been brought in to clean up the cans.
We can’t help thinking that the real victim here was the cider itself though.
It is unlikely any of the cases will be recovered, meaning thousands of cans of cider have been spoiled.
A sign, perhaps, that summer is coming to a close?
