LONDON, Nov. 29 (UPI) -- A man driving through London captured dashboard camera footage of a clumsy shopper who held up traffic with his potato problems.

The video, posted to YouTube by user Grappa, shows the man -- identified by the uploader as a "clumsy chef" -- trip in the crosswalk and roll on the ground, causing his crate of potatoes to spill all over the road.

Many pedestrians walk right past the man, but some stop to help him pick up the potatoes, a task that takes considerably longer than the traffic signal takes to change.

"Caught this on my dash cam while I was in London. Amazing how everyone helped him! There are nice people in this world," the uploader wrote.
