Anyone planning to travel on the M606 southbound near Bradford will find themselves in a sticky situation as a huge amount of paint has pooled across a large part of the motorway.

A HGV was carrying huge containers of the white stuff when it crashed, and 12 of them fell off the lorry.So approximately 12,000 litres of paint – that’s a whole lotta paint.

So for the time being, best to avoid that area.
