One driver who witnessed the aftermath said: "There were giblets and guts and animal offal all over the road. The lorry looked like it had just gone over onto its side near the Pets at Home store on Bentley Road.

"It was a right mess - it looked about six inches deep and motorists were trying to get through."

There are unconfirmed reports that the vehicle involved belongs to the nearby Prosper De Mulder animal rendering plant, which is in nearby Ings Road.
