🚛💥 Miracle Escape in Gowerton! A lorry’s dramatic crash into a pole after getting trapped under a railway bridge has everyone talking. The heart-stopping incident occurred on Sunday evening, April 12th, when the lorry, carrying a skip, attempted to navigate the 3.3m bridge on Victoria Road. Unfortunately, the bridge was a touch too low, leading to the driver losing control and swerving into the other side of the road. 😱
As the lorry veered across, it clipped an oncoming car before slamming head-on into a pole near Fairwood Terrace. In a stroke of luck, no one was injured, and the driver walked away unscathed, albeit a bit shaken! Watch as parts of the vehicle crash to the ground in the aftermath. The road, connecting Gowerton with Llanelli and Swansea on the west Wales trainline, briefly turned into a scene of chaos. 🚦
South Wales Police responded to the scene and confirmed the driver was reported for driving without due care and attention. The incident drew quite the crowd, with the jaw-dropping footage spreading like wildfire online. Let’s hope for smoother journeys and more cautious driving ahead! 🌟
Stay safe on the roads, everyone! 🚦👮♂️
