Inquiries are now taking place into just how the vehicle ended up hanging from the bridge


I bet god put it there as a way of highlighting that the bridge needed repair. (I figure he was [!Expletive Deleted!] drunk and didn't see the fact that he bridge was closed for maintinence anyway)

It's an underbridge unit from EPL, they won't be very happy as there aren't very many of them that size in the country.  My guess would be a faulty handbrake.

Well that explains it then.  He was obviously trying to inspect under the bridge.

If the driver was in the cab at the time, I suspect they'll have a cleaning bill, as having 32 tonnes behind you with the nose pointing towards the ground 10 feet away must cause a little anxiety.
