FALLING OFF THE WAGON

Motorway sliproad closed after lorry shed its load of thousands of Kronenberg beers

Hundreds of cans littered the motorway after they slipped off the back of the lorry

BEER lovers everywhere were ready to drop everything and race to a motorway sliproad where thousands of crates of Kronenburg fell from a lorry.

The road was closed last night while the lorry and it's spilled cargo was cleared up.

After the North West Motorway Police tweeted "look what fell off the wagon" with the accompanying picture of the scattered cans, many people responded with offers to help in the clear up.

Some were ready to come armed with a straw and others suggested the AA were called in to aid the recovery.

The dozens of crates fell through the side of a lorry last night on the eastbound M56 sliproad onto the M6 junction.

North West Motorway Police tweeted the pictures and said: "Look what fell off the wago. LGV loses its load of beer."

In the images a man, thought to be the driver, can be seen beside the cab.

The sliproad was re-opened at about 10.30pm.
