Huge traffic jams built up after a milk tanker overturned on the A5 Chirk bypass spilling milk across the carriageway.

The driver escaped serious injury when his vehicle rolled over on the trunk road at 6am today.

The road, which also carries the A483, was shut between the Gledrid and Halton roundabouts with traffic diverted through the town of Chirk.

Long queues built up on the approach to the bypass, with cars queuing back towards Oswestry and Wrexham. Traffic through Chirk was at gridlock.

Police say the road was re-opened at 8.30am once the carriageway was cleaned up.
