RUSH hour traffic chaos hit Romsey when a lorry got stuck under a railway bridge yesterday.

The vehicle got stuck under the low bridge at Great Bridge on the A3057 Stockbridge Road at about 5.30pm.

Traffic came to a standstill while the vehicle was cleared from the scene.

Acting Sgt John Dainton, of Eastleigh traffic police, said it would have caused "absolute chaos'' on the main arterial route.

Wessex Trains said: "Certain services were delayed for about ten minutes before it was cleared.''
