Tomato puree spillage closes A14 in Cambridgeshire

A section of major road turned bright red after a lorry crash caused a spillage of tomato puree and olive oil.

The crash happened not at Spaghetti Junction but on the A14 near Godmanchester, Cambridgeshire, on Tuesday evening.

Social media users could not resist weighing in with puns, with one calling it "a disaster, puree simple".

One BBC Radio 2 listener asked if it "was suitable for traffic to passata safe distance", while another tweet read: "Some of our drivers had to go pasta this earlier today. They are starting to ketchup after the delay though."
