At around 12.00pm today, the Derbyshire Dales Response Unit reported that they were attending an incident on the A5012 at Pikehall, near Matlock.
Officers found that a HGV had overturned on the route, forcing them to close the road.
Remarkably, the driver of the lorry suffered no serious injuries during the accident.
The DDRU tweeted: “One lucky driver who should put his numbers on the National Lottery this week. Walking wounded only.”
