The trailer, that was being towed by a tractor, ended up on its side on the Newtown bypass with slurry leaking out across the busy road.

The accident happened at lunchtime on Tuesday on a roundabout on the Welshpool side of the bypass.

Mid and West Wales firefighters helped to make the vehicle safe and council workers were also on side, with Dyfed-Powys Police controlling traffic.

A police spokesman said: "The road is not closed but passable with care."
