Tomato puree spillage leaves road like ‘horror film’

A stretch of road in England was left looking like a scene from a “horror film” after a lorry crash spilled tomato puree across the tarmac on 1 June. A 37km section of the westbound carriageway of the A14 main road from Cambridge to Brampton was closed after the collision between two lorries.

Several people made light of the spill, with one tweeting: “I went pasta that. Took a while for the traffic to ketchup.” Another joked: “And I imagine when it does reopen cars will have to passata slow speed?” Others said it was fortunate that the crash didn’t take place at Spaghetti Junction.
