[Closed] Shit day?

I bet those items would be looted in some countries easing the traffic jam ... 🙄

they need one of these;

When I was a little lad, a wagon carrying tinned tomatoes got stuck in similar circumstances. My Grandad walked to work past the incident site and we had tinned tomatoes with every meal for the next 6 months.

Good to see ambulance staff on scene!

I once got some onions from a truck that had rolled over in greece. which was nice.

Should have been this

I can trump that one crikey, when I was a young lad, kicking his heels on school summer holidays in a small wiltshire village, my friends and I were lucky enough to benefit from a draymans lorry that over turned and ended up in the river, lets just say that it made for a few very pleasant days down at the rope swing!

😆 Grandad is good.

Yes, he got some funny looks for taking a wheelbarrow to the factories boiler room...

A local builders merchant drove under a low bridge a few weeks ago in Queensfery, Wales, it totally destroyed the raised HIAB crane on the rear of the truck, along with the old stone parapet of the bridge, and caused very serious disruption to the train service.

Thankfully noone was injured and no train was derailed.

I bet the driver needed some of that toilet paper , when he heard/felt the bang.

That bridge kills about one lorry every two months, despite being yellow and black, having illuminated signs that flash when they see a high load and having signs all over it. I think it may have originally been put there to prevent muppets reaching the motorway!

long time ago, lorries hitting railway bridges might have made me very wealthy. unfortunately railtrack got cold feet (that and the tech wasn't really suitable for the application 😳 ) Hey ho.

Ah cool - he's delivering a bridge.

Yes, I saw that 'Rubber Bridge' Patent No. 3367321. Nice idea, but one or two teeny weeny issues...

On the upside, it revolutionised the porn industry.

I once had a summer job at a paper recycling place. One of our arctics with 20 ton of bog roll ends went over on a roundabout just outside Barrow. It was a windy day and when we arrived to help clear up, there was bog roll like streamers from just about every tree, wire and telegraph pole for as far as the eye could see. The driver got a bit of a bollocking!

I remember a ski yogurt trailer tipping over outside weaverham, years ago. We got fed up of yogurt very soon after....

the fact it's toilet roll makes it even funnier.

Is that Tollerton?

I cannot begIn to imagine the speed/force etc required to totally flip the boom of that 360 back on itself and also bury it into the bridge that far 😯

The amount of sh*t in Swindon, I'm surprised to see that much toilet paper heading out of town...

well hopefully his boss will just [b]roll[/b] his eyes at this one, not get [b]bogged[/b] down with a disciplinary, and will [b]wipe[/b] the slate clean...

Many years ago heading in to Salford along the M602 I spotted on the opposite banking lots of bags of compost thinking a wagon must have shed its load when I went back I stopped and helped myself to a couple of large bags. It was only a week or so later when once again heading into salford I noticed the council had planted some spring flower beds on the banking where I found the shed load. 🙄

Is that Tollerton?

No because there are too many stripes on the bridge and the traffic lights are too close.

I know that bridge in Swindon - I understand it's the most struck (hit by vehicles) bridge in the country
I once witnessed a lorry drive under it with the top of the lorry bouncing loudly off every support RSJ....bang, bang, bang as it drove through

driver seemed oblivious and just kept going without slowing

top of the lorry must have been smashed it

Swindon has two of these "killer bridges", here's a video of the Swindon Green party's recent ill fated & short lived double decker election tour

Truck full of printer ink:

Truck full of printer ink:

That's terrible! Did anyone dye?

Looks like the truck at the back there has been marooned.

**** me is that an industrial sized printer cartridge that blokes leaning on?

My dad managed to salvage a crate of lobsters from a little lorry accident, mmmm.

You'd never see a tanker driver hit a bridge like that. Worth every penny, gor' bless'em.

I have to say that driver should lose his job (sorry to be a kill joy 😀 ) but joking aside he should have known how high his load was and known he couldn't make it. Two people were killed not all that long ago around here when a chap drove a load (which was pre-loaded but he didn't bother to check the height for himself) under a bridge that was too low for the truck. He did exactly what the chap above did except he was carry logs. A young woman died from crush injuries and her fiance was decapitated. So jokes aside as it's only loo roll, that chap seriously chuffed up.

Emma, was that Hereford, the driver went to prison.

Seems as if Network rail even hit bridges themselves and derail trains

Project - I know! I driver under the bridge every day.
