Pedestrians in Swindon were faced with an unusual sight this afternoon, witnessing six people bouncing up and down inside a van which was stuck under a railway bridge.
Police officers closed the road, off Great Western Way, when a British Heart Foundation van became stuck under Whitehouse Bridge in the town centre at around 12.30pm today.
In a successful attempt to remove the tall vehicle, a group of six people jumped up and down inside the back of the van while a police officer reversed it out.
The van was then put on the back of a recovery vehicle and the road reopened at 1.30pm.
Network Rail were on scene to oversee the removal of the van and check for damage.
