Police said they approached the scene ‘gingerly’ after thousands of McVitie’s packets escaped transit
Drivers in Derbyshire found themselves obstructed by an avalanche of biscuits when a lorry spilled hundreds of McVitie’s packets across a main road.
Derbyshire constabulary were called to Ilkeston Road, in Sandiacre, at about 4.30pm Monday after the road and pavement were strewn with Ginger Nuts and Bourbon Creams. A rescue operation for the fallen biscuits concluded more than seven hours later.
