Derbyshire Live reported that a police officer had said: ‘Please bear with us this evening whilst we try and ‘digest’ this issue.
‘A lorry load of McVitie’s finest have decided to abandon ship causing a slight obstruction!’
Drivers luckily saw the funny side of the incident, joking with officers as they passed the biscuit mountain.
Many quipped: ‘Give us a biscuit’ but a large number of the gingery and chocolatey treats had landed in horse poo.
