Dozens of locals scrambled to collect bottles of beer that fell off the back of a lorry.

The lorry's back door flung open as it sped through a narrow road with sharp bends in the Santa Cruz area of Manila, the Philippines, on Wednesday (July 3).

Cases of beer cascaded onto the road - with hundreds being smashed but many still intact.

Residents rushed to help the truck driver clean up and salvage some of the bottles that did not get broken.

According to witnesses, the back door lock snapped open as the truck made a turn at the intersection of the road.

Onlooker Mingo Lee said: ''The beer was worth a lot of money. Hundreds were smashed. I feel sorry for the driver. He was upset and worried about getting in trouble with his boss.''
