A LORRY overturned spilling its load and causing a road to be closed for 15 hours. 

The lorry came off the A4104 Baughton Hill, Earl's Croome, near Malvern, into a ditch. 

Boxes that had come off the lorry were thrown across the road and on the side. 

Drivers were unable to use the section of the road between the Jockey Inn's overflow car park and the roundabout for the A38 while a clean-up operation took place.

The lorry appeared to be carrying fish and chip bags as there was a number of bright red bags left on the ground.
