SUTTON Bank, in North Yorkshire, has been closed after a lorry spilled its load - of dead pig carcasses.
Police say the main route from Thirsk to Helmsley will be closed for between four and six hours.
A spokesman for North Yorkshire County Council said: "The A170 at Sutton Bank has been closed for the next 4-6 hours in order to clear the road after a refrigerated lorry carrying pig carcasses shed its load.
"Diversion signs are in place and highways officers will make every effort to open the road as soon as possible."
