French farmers attack Spanish wine lorries

Around 50 members of the young farmers’ group, Jeunes Agriculteurs, blocked the lorries’ path at a toll station just outside Montpellier on Tuesday.

Moments later, protestors cracked open four lorries’ vats and sent more than 100,000 litres of red and white wine pouring onto the motorway floor. Other lorries carrying fruit and vegetables were also attacked.
