A lorry overturned on a US motorway, spilling what police said was 20,400kg of butter and other dairy products.

The crash happened on the eastbound lane of Interstate 465 in Indianapolis. It left thousands of packages strewn across the highway, many broken open and with their contents coating the road surface.

Police said the truck driver apparently fell asleep and hit a highway barrier. No injuries were reported.
