The A19 near York was left covered in slurry after a JCB Fastrac towing a tanker crashed into a car, an accident which caused only minor injuries.
The serious collision occurred at about 9.15pm on Monday 7 December, at Escrick, North Yorkshire Police said.
The accident involved a black VW Beetle and a yellow JCB Fastrac towing a slurry tanker.
As a result of the collision, the JCB ended up on top of the car, trapping a passenger inside.
The slurry tanker was damaged, which resulted in a large amount of its contents leaking onto the road, police added.
A passenger in the VW was extracted by North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service and taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
The VW driver was taken to hospital with minor injuries. The JCB driver was uninjured.
Amazingly the occupants of the car weren't seriously injured given the final position of the vehicles.
