Lorry overturns after striking Farnham bridge

A lorry has overturned after striking a notorious bridge in Farnham. Wrecclesham Road is currently blocked with the large vehicle having tipped on its side. In a post on social media, Surrey Police’s road unit said the driver had failed to adhere to the height restrictions.

This resulted in the HGV striking the bridge and flipping over. They’ve warned drivers that clearing the vehicle may take some time. Motorists might want to find a different route in the meantime or allow extra time for their journey. :Controversy over Staines Town Football Club’s planned Traveller tournament

It’s not the first time that a vehicle has got stuck while trying to pass through. For example, back in October, a lorry struck the same bridge with the road blocked in both directions.

Crashes have been a regular occurrence there over the years. Surrey Police has warned drivers multiple times to be mindful of the restriction.
