Wilton A36 re-opens after lorry gets stuck under bridge

The lorry got stuck under the bridge on the A36 in Wilton

A Wiltshire road has re-opened after a lorry got stuck under a bridge.

The HGV became jammed under the bridge, close to Kingsway in Wilton, at about 09:00 BST and a section of the A36 was shut to traffic until around 14:00.

Wiltshire Police said the driver had been issued with a traffic offence report for careless driving.

It means they could be fined, summoned to court or sent on a driver education course, once the full circumstances of the alleged offence are known.

The height of the bridge is marked in both feet and metres.

In a tweet, the force said: "If only the bridge height was marked…. Ow wait!"
