A traffic accident hotspot bridge which has the unfortunate accolade of being one of the most-hit bridges in the UK, has been hit by a vehicle again. The collision occured when a lorry struck the bridge on Thursday (February 16), which resulted in access to Thames Street in Staines being blocked from both directions.
A Hardstaff Barriers lorry became lodged underneath the bridge after a sideloader it was carrying hit the wall. The yellow vehicle can be seen balancing precariously one one side, the wheels at its front tilting towards the pavement.
The accident caused rail disruption where some overland trains travelling directly over the bridge, had to be slowed down. This was to allow rail staff to ensure the track was aligned, reports SurreyLive.
