It was one of those lorries that delivers bricks. The crane on the back got wedged under.

[KalamityKel]

Apparently there was a possibility of structural damage... to the bridge that is! :-S

[mamafeelgood]

i saw the flat bed truck tipped up. the workman on the estate and i were laughing at the stupidity of the driving to have forgotten to put his crane down. all the trains are crawling past the back of the house so i would say that a normal service seems to have resumed, only one train crosses the bridge at a time.

[ratty]

Are the roads clear? I will need to get home in a couple of hours!

[Ladygooner]

[val]

Thanks Ladygooner

[ratty]

Guessing?

My wife text me and said the road had cleared!

[sweetgirl]

just been there, its all been cleared up........

[giggirl]

I was on the 176 this morning when this happened. The buses were diverted into Dulwich Village (East Dulwich Road) onto a road with a low bridge (an act of pure genuis given the nature of the original incident). The buses all stopped and put the passengers off so but there were so many buses blocking the road that there needed to be a diversion around the diversion.

[KalamityKel]

Sorry ratty but yes I was guessing... not in ED and couldn't find any info online so :p

[kford]

Yep, a Jewson delivery lorry hit it, and was jammed under like this: http://englishrussia.com/images/bridge_pier.jpg

The jib of the backloader wedged under the bridge, pulling the cab and front wheels in the air; not as high as in that shot, admittedly, but still, a few feet off the ground.
