🚛🔥 Lorry Meets Its Match: The Notorious Bridge Strikes Again! 🔥🚛
Check out these jaw-dropping photos that capture the aftermath of a lorry that failed to outsmart a legendary low bridge on Bridge Street, Saltney. The collision left debris scattered across the road, causing a temporary road closure on Friday afternoon. Fortunately, the road’s clear now, and traffic’s back to its usual flow.
While the exact details of any injuries remain unclear, local social media lit up with reactions! Some Facebook users expressed frustration over the bridge’s 2.8m (9ft 3in) clearance being overlooked yet again. One person quipped, “If ever a bridge looked low before you went under it, it’s that one. I wince every time!”
Cries for more warnings and better signage have echoed throughout the community. As one woman put it, “Put more warnings in the trucks and around the bridge.”
North Wales Police confirmed on their Facebook page that the lorry has been recovered, the debris cleared, and the bridge checked by Network Rail. Everything’s back to normal for now, but will the bridge claim another victim in the future? 🤔
