Bin lorry sinks into Newbury road
- Published
A bin lorry became stuck after sinking into a town centre road.
The lorry's back wheels sunk into Old Bath Road in Newbury, Berkshire, which appeared to have partially collapsed. It is not known if the hot weather caused the surface of the road to melt.
A crane was used to remove the lorry and engineers are investigating to find out what caused the hole to open up.
Thames Valley Police said the road was not expected to reopen until Friday. None of the bin workers were injured.
