White out! Moment lorry trying to navigate sharp bend on coastal road overturns emptying animal feed all over holiday cottage

This is the moment a lorry trying to a navigate a sharp bend on a coastal road overturns - emptying its load all over a pretty holiday cottage.

The 40 tonne articulated lorry was travelling through Port Quin in Cornwall when it crashed on the tight bend.

Video from the property shows the vehicle's load of animal feed spilling out - engulfing the stone cottage.

Pictures of the aftermath show the damage caused to house.

The peaceful, sheltered inlet of Port Quin, on the north Cornish coast, was once a bustling fishing port but is now home to a number of holiday cottages and is popular with walkers and water sports enthusiasts.

It is nestled between Port Issac and Polzeath.

The nearby Doyden Castle has been used as a filming location for the TV drama Poldark and has since been turned into a National Trust-owned holiday cottage.

The vehicle, a Volvo FH, weighs up to 40 tonnes and has a 40ft trailer.

Owners M.Way& Son, based in South Molton, in Devon, said no one was injured but declined to comment further.

A spokesman for Devon and Cornwall police said: 'Police were called at 5pm on 10 September to Port Quin, following a report of a single vehicle collision.

'It was reported that an artic lorry had overturned, blocking the road, and spiling animal feed.

'The road was blocked until the vehicle was recovered the following day.'

The property's owners have been contacted for comment.
