After a lorry hit a bridge which collapsed onto a lorry …….. this is the main route to Dover :o
-
I'm surprised more bridges don't get hit. When we were driving south & back home recently we saw many large lorries which only just managed under bridges.
-
He hit the bridge because he was travelling on the hard shoulder, apparently on some UK motorways this is now allowed :-\
-
Did the bridge fall on the same lorry or another one? Must have been a tremendous collision and a weakness in the bridge.
We get regular collisions with the walls of a narrow bridge near here. It's over a river and a sharp bend and with a junction to our village. Usually at night, so alcoholic influence probably helps, though years back a police car landed in the river. Car chase? Happens so often that it doesn't get reported in the local news.

It was a digger on the back of a lorry that carved into the bridge bringing a section down onto that and also a lorry travelling in the centre lane.

Why was he driving in the hard shoulder though, he would have missed the bridge support otherwise >:(
No chance of avoiding something that happened that quickly! The Police are reported as calling it a 'major' incident, well that's anything where more than 20 people are involved: in this instance, only 5 :-\. A Major Incident is where all hands are called in, Doctors, Police etc. are called in from days off/holidays ……. beds are emptied ……..
