Dustcart overturns in rural ditch
A rural road had to be closed this
week after a dustcart overturned, ending up in a
ditch - breaking both of the vehicles axles in the
process.
The incident occurred in Church
Lane, between Snargate and Brenzett Green, at around 2pm on
Monday.
Police were called to the scene at
2.50pm to ensure the Veolia vehicle was not blocking the road and
Kent Highways attended the location at around 8pm.
Due to the unusual nature of the
recovery the road was closed and remains so today.
A spokesman for Veolia
Environmental Services said: "We can confirm that the
vehicle in question will be removed later today as soon as the
ground conditions mean it is safe to do so.
"A full investigation is being
carried out into this incident."
