A driver was quoted as saying by The Sun, “I had to go out to the fast lane to avoid them. They could so easily have caused an accident.”
Before this, a truckload of cookies spilled on the road in England’s Derbyshire in April last year. Police in the Erewash district shared on Twitter photographs of dozens of boxes of McVities ginger nuts and bourbons spilt on the road. The tweet intrigued netizens and many were curious about the cleanup and came up with puns on biscuits.
