A lorry has been 'rescued' after its roof was ripped off when it was driven underneath a railway bridge in Bristol today (June 8). The lorry was badly damaged after it struck the bridge which carries the main railway line into Temple Meads at around 11am and got stuck there.
The fire service confirmed four hours later at 3.34pm that the lorry had been recovered from Whitby Road, but its roof had been torn off. Police closed the road - a key route across South Bristol between Brislington and St Annes - and diversions were in place following the incident.
The fire service confirmed that no-one was injured. They wrote on their official Twitter account that crews from two stations had "rescued" the lorry.
