Unsecured doors on a lorry resulted in a load of sheet metal strips spilling out onto the A548 near Deeside Industrial Estate.

The incident happened around 5pm on Monday afternoon.

Police closed the road between zone 3 and zone 4 of the Industrial Estate for a short amount of time while they cleared the eastbound carriageway of metal and debris.
