A LORRY caused Traffic chaos after it careered through a large roundabout at the end of the M65 motorway in Colne at 1pm yesterday.
The driver lost control of the articulated truck as it approached the roundabout from the Nelson direction. The truck went straight over the roundabout and into a grass embankment on the far side.
Traffic queues of more than a mile built up on the M65 as police closed off Whitewalls Drive and one side of the Vivary Way dual carriageway while the scene was cleared..
The lorry, bearing the name of a Portugese transport company, was slightly damaged and the driver, who has not been named, escaped unhurt.
