Lorry on Nottinghamshire roadside causing delays in village

Drivers in Nottinghamshire faced delays after a lorry reportedly broke down in a Nottinghamshire village. There have been reports of traffic delays near the Wheatcroft roundabout on the A607 Melton Road after the incident in Tollerton on Friday, April 14.

Traffic monitoring sites reported the incident involved a broken down lorry while Google maps reported a crash.

Pictures from the scene show police in attendance and motorists have been warned about slow traffic going through Tollerton between Wheatcroft Island and Lenton Avenue.

Eyewitness George Icke tweeted: "Another lorry has struck the bridge at Tollerton in Nottingham - police and recovery now on the scene but delays are still back to the Nottingham Knight roundabout."
