Oh, the M42 motorway is covered in Marshmallows and Beer, you guys!

M-way covered by sweets and beer

Part of the M42 is shut after a six-vehicle crash sent marshmallows and beer spilling out onto the carriageway.

The northbound stretch was closed at junctions 10 and 11, near Tamworth Services, after several lorries and a van collided at about 0400 GMT.

The Highways Agency said delays of about 30 minutes were expected and the section of road was likely to remain closed until Friday afternoon.

Drivers are being advised to use alternative routes.

THIS IS TRUE!

"The Swedish women's ski team, who were in the area, cheerfully joined in the clean-up"

"The M42 is flooded with beer. Police have advised motorists to avoid the area, so that they don't drive on drink!"

"This is the beer button... and this is the sweets button.. NEVER push those buttons"

"The M42 is covered with marshmallows. Police have described the situation as 'sticky'."

(xpost) is that a Father Ted reference?

yes!!

What a way to commemorate the 34th anniversary of Nick Drake's untimely passing.

It's them crazy Swedish women again.

The clean up is expected to go well. According to a police spokesman it will be like taking candy from a layby.

^works very well in a west midlands accent.
