Lady Bay Bridge crash 'screeching and big bang' surprises locals as lorry crashes through wall
Onlookers were stunned as a lorry crashed through the wall on Lady Bay Bridge and landed next to a row of businesses. Emergency services were called out to the bridge at around 8.50am on Monday, July 4 after reports that a lorry had fallen down an embankment.
Those nearby were shocked as the situation unfolded. Will Stewart, 57, a welder at Global Security was sat in his car waiting to go to work when he heard the lorry hit the wall. He said: “I was sat waiting for work to open and then I heard the screeching, looked behind me and saw the wall collapsing."The lorry flipped onto its drivers side. I tried to get over the fence to help but I couldn’t. I was just underneath it all.
Shortly after the crash, a Nottinghamshire Police spokesperson said: “We were called at 8.51am today to a report of a lorry leaving the carriageway at Lady Bay Bridge in West Bridgford and crashing down an embankment. The bridge is closed while emergency services deal with the incident. Motorists are asked to find an alternative route.”
