Stuck lorry causes travel chaos in Marlborough
- Published
Herd Street in Marlborough was closed in both directions after the vehicle became wedged
A lorry caused three-mile tailbacks after it became wedged against a house while attempting to turn a corner.
The vehicle got stuck, blocking access to Herd Street, Marlborough, Wiltshire, at about 16:50 BST.
Drivers had faced long delays when the road into the market town was closed, but the lorry has since been moved.
PC Keith Larkworthy, said: "We tried to get the lorry down the hill but it became wedged in the middle of the road blocking access into Marlborough."
It is thought the driver was following a sat-nav when he got jammed in the small streets
PC Larkworthy said the goods vehicle had "lost traction" on The Green as it was heading out of town - narrowly missing the house - and had been reversed back "blocking in vehicles".
"Apparently the foreign driver's using sat-nav which can take them into some awkward situations where they get stuck, so it's probably not his fault," he said.
