A road was blocked by thousands of onions during the morning rush hour after a tractor trailer overturned.

The vehicle shed its load on the junction of the A141 and A142 in Chatteris, Cambridgeshire, at about 08:50 GMT on Monday.

Cambridgeshire Police said there were no arrests or injuries - and the road was reopened at about 12:50.

Melissa Atwell posted a picture of the scene on social media, describing it as "just a few rogue onions".
