Lorry blocking three-way junction by Laddingford Bridge near Maidstone

A lorry blocked all three directions of an intersection after reversing from a narrow bridge.

The HGV driver attempted to cross Laddingford Bridge in Gravelley Ways, between Laddingford and Yalding.

However, after finding it was too narrow he reversed crashing into a sign and damaging the vehicle's hydraulic brake line.

Unable to move, the lorry was positioned blocking every part of the three-way junction leading onto the bridge.

A witness says that problems were made worse as the driver only speaks Spanish, making communication very difficult.

More to come.
