m25 bridge crash!!!

[Welshwoodsman]

The bridge was undergoing maintenance, the 'rollers' that allow it to expand and contract has been removed.

 

The lorry driver with the digger, thought it looked tight and had pulled into hard shoulder and slowed right down.

 

As I have been informed he hit it at very low speed.

 

 

That is what I heard, also that there was something on the carriageway in the slow lane- so pulled off onto hard shoulder. There should defo have been a height warning on the bridge above the shoulder-

Miracle it han't happened before- how many oversize loads go up and down the M20- only a few years back every weekend for weeks, all the poles for the windfarm at Dungeness went down the 20 to jn 10- good thing they werent going the other way!

... that there was something on the carriageway in the slow lane ...

 

That seems unlikely considering that the crushed curtainsider was in lane 1 alongside the wagon on the hard shoulder at the time of the accident.
