Thank Gordon’s everyone’s okay after last night’s #gincident…

At around 17:30 last night (Wednesday 4th September), a lorry carrying 32,000 litres of gin was involved in a collision on the M6 in Cheshire. Thankfully, no one was injured – the real tragedy is all that gin being sacrificed to the tarmac 😱

Local police summed up the incident perfectly:

Last nights major #gincident was on the rocks for a while but after plenty shaking and even more stirring the M6 is back open! Tanqueray no one was seriously injured and everything’s now been schwepped away 🥂🥁. https://t.co/9fJcziD3G1

While other Twitter users saw the perfect opportunity for a pun…

Those caught in the traffic just had to gin and bear it.
