Lorry wedged under bridge in Edinburgh as police close road

A busy thoroughfare in Edinburgh has ground to a halt after a heavy goods lorry became wedged under a railway bridge.

The vehicle is understood to have lodged itself underneath the bridge at Cameron Toll in the capital at around 9am on Friday, February 10, Edinburgh Live reports. The DSV-branded trailer has tiled over to one side from the impact, the roof of the container warped out of shape by the force of the crash.

Edinburgh Travel News said of the collision on Twitter: "Cameron Toll bridge strike confirmed - the road is blocked between Peffermill Road and Old Dalkeith Road." Network Rail support teams and police are on the scene assessing the damage and the road has been closed.
