A truck driver whose trailer tipped next to a giant tomato has escaped unscathed.
The trailer containing woodchips tipped into a ditch on Marsden Pt Highway at 1.40pm yesterday, beside a novelty tomato marking the Big Tomato Fruit and Vege store and bakery.
Police spokeswoman Sarah Kennett said the driver was not injured in the accident and diverted traffic around the scene until officers arrived.
Mrs Kennett said it was unclear how the trailer had tipped - the piece of road where the accident occurred was straight.
The trailer was still lying beside the road late yesterday afternoon and would need a crane to right it, Mrs Kennett said.
