AN ARTICULATED lorry caused traffic chaos when it became wedged under the notorious Greatbridge Road railway bridge yesterday afternoon.
The accident happened at 12.15pm when the cab of the 14-tonne truck became stuck under the bridge and its trailer overturned.
Traffic was diverted along Ashley Meadows and through Romsey town centre while emergency services battled for nearly three hours to free the truck.
British Transport Police were also sent to inspect the bridge to make sure it was safe. Nobody was injured in the incident.
Police said it was the third time in the past year that a lorry had become stuck under the bridge.
