0:00On April 27th, a lorry crash on the M4 between Junctions 13 and 14 spilled 20 tons of per sekel all over the road, shutting down the motorway for more than 7 hours. The truck loaded with Lavelli's sparkling wine slammed into another heavy goods vehicle, knocking off its empty shipping container and scattering boxes. Glass and fizzy mess everywhere. Drivers face major delays with the version routes in place, turning what could have been a quick commute into a total standstill, while police cracked. Jokes about it not being the refreshment anyone wanted. One driver is now under investigation for dangerous driving, with signs pointing to mobile phone use behind the wheel, but amazingly, only minor, injuries to one person involved. National highways got the call at 7.37am, wrapped up vehicle recovery by 11.30am, cleared the debris around 12.56pm, and fully reopened the road by 220pm, proving even bubbly spills don't pop forever.
