Images taken by eyewitness Dave Higgs show a lorry near the scene with part of its roof damaged.
Despite multiple signs displaying its dimensions – 14ft or 4.2m – lorries have continued to crash into the structure.
EMR has warned that bridge strike incidents risk the safety of drivers, staff and train customers and urged drivers to remember the height of their vehicles.
