The lorry tipped on the Newtown bypass, while negotiating the roundabout at the Welshpool end of the road.

The road remains open, but a lane of the roundabout has been coned off while the lorry is recovered.

Aerial pictures captured by Mid Wales photographer, H18-PDW Photography, show the lorry on its side.
