THIS DUSTBIN lorry blocked a York street for half an hour today, causing a big tailback.

The lorry got stuck in Goodramgate between scaffolding on shops and a car parked opposite on double yellow lines.

"You should have seen the commotion," said Vicky Hutchon, 27, from the Festival of Fun shop.

"I shut the door because of all the noise and the smell," said Alice Maynard, 29, from Make Your Mark.
