A truck carrying whisky worth £200,000 overturned yesterday, raising fears of pollution.
A leak was found in the container carrying 1650 cases of the spirit after the lorry overturned at a roundabout in Port Glasgow at about 1.45pm.
It is not known how many of the bottles have broken.
Experts from the Scottish Environmental Protection Agency were called to the scene of the accident on the A8 near Highholm Street to check for possible pollution.
Firefighters were also helping deal with the accident.
Police said the truck driver was injured in the crash, although not seriously.
A number of roads nearby were closed off after the accident.
Case 2:
A valve on a truck hauling animal waste from a Klamath Falls processing plant broke, spilling 4,000 pounds of pig blood. A biohazards cleaning company from Prineville was called in to clean up about 200 feet of roadway flooded by the blood.
Residents worried about the stench and health hazards.
"It could make our animals sick," said Amanda Dearing, whose house is along the road. "It could make us really sick."
Authorities said they hadn't determined why the valve broke.
The semitrailer truck was leaving Masami Foods on Wednesday afternoon, bound for Tacoma, Wash.
