The accident happened at lunchtime today as the wagon which was heading towards Uppermill from Diggle skidded into the grass verge just before the mini roundabout.

Luckily the driver was uninjured and said he had been “blinded” by the sun as he came around the bend.

Police attended the scene soon afterwards.
