It’s finally the weekend and in this week’s selection of must-watch videos we see a slippery mess after a truck crashed and spilled more than 150,000 tomatoes across a highway, covering lanes and stopping traffic in Vacaville, California.
And for our tennis fans, superstar Serena Williams shows she is not done yet, beating Anett Kontaveit and advancing to the third round at the US Open.
A magpie mother shows us what swooping season is all about. And lastly, brand new shoes and dating tips from some adorable feathered friends.
