This lorry driver’s eyes were bigger than his vehicle as he failed to squeeze under a railway bridge in Luton on Tuesday.
Beds Police were called to the scene in Hitchin Road at 4.36pm, and found the lorry stuck underneath the 13ft high bridge, blocking one side of the road.
A Beds Police spokesperson said: “Officers attended to divert traffic and were at the scene until 6.10pm when the incident was passed to Network Rail. The lorry was extremely damaged but no one was hurt and we will not be taking any further action.”
Network Rail own the bridge and a spokesperson said: “There were some minor scrapes on the bridge but no major damage. Line services were back to normal by 6.30pm. There might have been a small impact on services prior to that. We examined the bridge as a precautionary measure but it was all fine.” The lorry was from Ewals Cargo Care and the company have not yet responded to requests for a comment.
