"Heartbreaking that I don’t have a straw."

A motorway in the UK was closed last night after a lorry carrying 32,000 litres of gin was involved in a crash.

The M6 in Chesire was shut due to the alcohol leaking from one of the tankers.

Nantwich Police joked in a tweet, saying after plenty of shaking and even more stirring the M6 is back in operation now.

Emergency crews worked overnight to stop the spilt gin from igniting.

Cheshire Police said the collision caused long delays but there were no reports of injuries.

Frustrated motorist Rachel Sargeant took to Twitter, writing: "Been sat on the M6 for two hours so far.

"[I am] 200 yards away from 32,000 litres of spilt gin!

"Heartbreaking that I don’t have a straw."
