The scene of the accident. Pictures: Reader Elly Henson A LORRY loaded with lager damaged a wall, bus shelter and car when it shed dozens of kegs in a busy Suffolk road.
The Carlsberg truck came to grief on the A12 where it runs through the village of Yoxford, at the junction with High Street.
Witnesses said the lorry had just come round a sharp corner near the Kings Head pub when dozens of the kegs fell off the back and careered in every direction.
A wall, pub sign, car and bus shelter were all hit by the rolling barrels shortly after midday yesterday.
No load needed recovering here! Lots of drivers helping the poor lorry driver. Fortunately no injuries to people in recovering the Kegs or when they spilt.
If this happened frequently, the house prices in Yoxford would go up!
