After more than 24 hours on its side, a lorry carrying a full load of beet pellets which came off the road yesterday is finally being recovered.
The lorry came off the road at Tipps End near Welney on the Norfolk/Cambridgeshire border.
The driver collected a full load of beet pellets from the British Sugar plant at Wissington on Wednesday night and was heading to Newtown, Wales.
'What happened is I should have stayed on the A10 but you know what satnavs are like- mine was obviously trying to get me there on the shortest and easiest route,' he said.
Just 16 miles into his journey he believes a combination of wind and rain forced his vehicle into the side of the road and it overturned into a nearby ditch.
'I'm just happy to have escaped without injury,' he said. 'It didn't feel too windy but I did feel it a bit as I came round the corner and along this stretch of road.'
