Motorists travelling through Wolverhampton city centre were warned of major disruption on Monday after a lorry shed its load of wood.
A passerby said that the heavy goods vehicle had pulled over opposite to the Sytner Wolverhampton BMW garage on Ring Road, St George's, at around 2.15pm.
Pictures sent to the Express & Star show stacks of wood aboard the lorry leaning significantly to one side.
Video then shows the load being cut free from the lorry and falling hard onto the ground.
