Lorry driver has a bad day in Dover
Comments |
Train services from Dover have resumed, but Coombe Valley
Road is still closed to traffic, after a lorry crashed into a
railway bridge, and then reversed into a bus.
Police officers were called to the
bridge at Coombe Valley Road, Dover, just after 10am on Tuesday,
December 1.
The collision with the bridge
caused a girder to crack and Network Rail engineers were called in
to examine the extent of the damage. Train services between
Dover and Canterbury and between Dover and Ramsgate were suspended
while repair work was carried out.
The road under the bridge was also
closed, with motorists being diverted via River. The road remained
closed on Wednesday morning. Scaffolding has been put up under the
bridge to enable further repairs to be carried out.
Anyone who witnessed the collision
is asked to contact the police on 01304 240055.
