EMERGENCY services are in the process of recovering an overturned lorry containing 3,000 chickens at the Rushwick roundabout.

West Mercia Police have closed a section of the A4440 to deal with the vehicle which toppled over earlier this morning.

At around 10.50am a West Midlands Ambulance Service rapid response vehicle was sent to the incident, which happened close to the roundabout at the junction with the A44/A4440 and A4103.

No one was hurt in the incident.

Two fire engines from Worcester and one from Droitwich attended the incident.

Earlier this year a lorry carrying cider overturned at a nearby roundabout in Bransford.
