Not so Safe
Van crashes into railway bridge. The roof of a van was cropped off once it crashed into this bridge. The van became stuck under the bridge after the impact. Driving a van is obviously different from driving a car, please someone tell the driver of this van. Another van stuck under a bridge this seems to be very common. Emergency services toiled for three hours to free a van stuck under a town centre bridge. The bridge above Prospect Hill had been beset by difficulties owing to its wedge shape in the past Worcestershire Council applied new safety measures together with more signs and height warning flaps over the road. But another vehicle become lodged in the gap shortly after midday today and a team from the Police worked till 4 pm to finally free it. Jon Fraser, the council’s customer and community manager, said: “We can only put this incident down to driver error as we have not had any recounted accidents concerning vehicles striking this bridge since the introduction of new signage and black and yellow chevrons. He added: “The damage caused by this collision is only cosmetic to the bridge.”
Jammed like the traffc
The force of driving forward can get you well and truly jammed under the bridge. The tyres of this removal van were totally deflated to allow for towing out. Apart from the red faced removal man there was no injuries and no real damage to the bridge apart from a few scrapes. If you have never driven a van before and you hire one be careful. Driving van means allowing for more room when turning and obviously the height difference which can be totally overlooked.
