Traffic delays as lorry crashes into railway bridge in Leeds city centre

The Toyota Tshusho lorry did not actually get stuck under the bridge - instead going 'straight through' according to a man clearing the debris - but the impact ripped open the trailer and bent it out of shape.

The lorry is now 50 metres further up the road.

Police have closed the road at the Whitehall Road end while recovery vehicles clear the scene.

A lamp post under the bridge was bent out of shape, and there were marks along the bridge wall.

The lorry was carrying parts for car radiators - boxes of which were scattered along the pavement in Globe Road.

The railway bridge does not appear to have been seriously damaged, as trains are still running over it
