Tons of liquid hot chocolate have been spilt on a Polish highway, covering six lanes and blocking traffic.
The accident happened when a lorry overturned on a road between Wrzesnia and Slupca near Poznan.
Images showed the truck surrounded by brown chocolate which had solidified and caused a huge sticky mess on the road.
Rescue officials said large amounts of hot water would be required to clear away the sweet spillage.
Senior brigadier Bogdan Kowalski with the fire brigade of Slupca said: "The cooling chocolate is worse than snow."
It is not known why the lorry was carrying so much chocolate.
Local station TVN24 reported from the site of the accident that the driver was taken to a hospital with a broken arm.
The accident occurred in the morning when there was little traffic and nobody else was hurt.
