Lorry freed after becoming trapped under St Austell bridge

The lorry became stuck near St Austell at about 09:45 on Friday

A lorry which got stuck under a railway bridge has been freed.

Devon and Cornwall Police said it received reports of a lorry trapped under a bridge in Cypress Avenue, near St Austell, in Cornwall, at about 09:45 BST.

Network Rail said there was no structural damage to the bridge and the lorry had since "removed itself".

No-one was injured and train services, operated by Great Western Railway, continued to run as normal.

A Network Rail spokesperson said: "We continue to urge lorry drivers and haulage companies to take better care.

"Look out for the height warnings on all of our bridges and take a second to think before taking a risk."

In August, a lorry struck a bridge in Plymouth, which resulted in multiple train journeys being cancelled.

Network Rail said there was no structural damage to the bridge
