THERE'S been a tragic accident in the US overnight.
Nobody was injured, but the cargo carried by a truck which ran off a Texas highway was completely destroyed when the vehicle caught on fire.
What was inside? A massive shipment of toilet paper.
According to the Texas Department of Transportation, the truck crashed at about 4am and burst into flames on Interstate 20 near Dallas.
The driver say he lost control, smashing into a highway barrier before the vehicle overturned.
Firefighters attending the scene managed to extinguish the flames, but weren't able to save any of the toilet rolls - although the driver and his faithful dog were unhurt.
Nations around the world are ramping up their testing for COVID-19 - but unfortunately British authorities have hit a glitch when some kits on order were found to be contaminated by - you guessed it - coronavirus.
The UK Government is hoping to boost the rate of testing by enlisting private suppliers to help ramp up production.
The tests were being produced by Luxembourg-based Eurofins, which has informed laboratories in the United Kingdom that deliveries would be delayed because COVID-19 had been detected in components due for delivery in the next few days.
Government sources said the issue shouldn't significantly impact the UK's overall testing efforts, reports the Telegraph.
