A driver has been ‘reported to court’ after a lorry struck a railway bridge in Wiltshire.

The incident happened on the A36 Warminster Road this morning (Friday, 28 October).

Despite the bridge height being clearly marked, a lorry managed to become stuck under it – blocking the road in both directions between Wilton and Deptford.

Wiltshire Police says the driver has been “dealt with for careless driving”, which is understood to mean that they have been reported to court.
