‘COFFEE RUSH’ IN FRANCE

DRIVERS in eastern France got a surprise coffee fix on Friday after hundreds of capsules scattered on to a highway in a traffic accident, prompting quick pullovers by people who snatched up as many boxes as they could. A truck carrying the capsules was involved in an accident after swerving to avoid vehicles that were stopped to wait for riders in the Tour d’Alsace bicycle race to pass near Sierentz, a town near the German border, south of Mulhouse.
