A lorry was left wedged under a railway bridge this morning.

The crash happened at Coombe Valley Road, Dover, and other such accidents have happened at that spot.

A police spokesman said: "Kent Police attended Coombe Valley Road in Dover following a report of a collision involving a lorry.

"Officers were called to the scene at 9.09am where it was reported a railway bridge had also been damaged during the collision. "

Network Rail confirmed to Kent Online that the lorry was moved away at 10.30am.

A spokesman said: "There was no damage to the bridge or railway as the lorry hit the protection beam, put in place for just this occurrence."

Police finally left the scene just before midday.

Neighbour Jade Stokes, who took a photograph of the scene, said: "The lorry got stuck under the bridge. It is an on going problem and this is not the first time it had happened."

In a previous such incident, in October 2017, a lorry hit the same low structure and tilted over, damaging the perimeter wall of a house.

Again, its trailer got trapped under the 13ft 9in bridge.
