A gritting lorry spilled its load on Chelston Roundabout on Saturday night, with the driver taken to hospital as a precaution

These pictures sent in to the County Gazette show the lorry had flipped right over on its side, with the load of grit covering the road surface.

A spokesman for Somerset County Council said: “We can confirm there was an incident involving our gritter on Saturday night and a full investigation will take place to establish what happened. The driver was taken to hospital as a precaution.”
