Don't think you wanted to do that

Avoid Stroud Green road Finsbury Park Nth London

He must have hit that at a good speed to turn it on it’s side,hope driver ok.

That looks like it will be a right pain in the arse to recover? I assume the second bridge is also low.
Will they just drag that out on its side and then right it?

High Winds :wink:

Thats gonna take some shiftin…

I googled it but the image is 2 years old & with scaffolding around it the height is 11’ 9" so not sure how high without the scaffolding
but can’t be much higher if any at all

a fresh tosco roll :unamused:

Oof, that’s going to be fun to drag out.
Gimpdaddy will be happy.

Probably agency Muppet. :unamused: :smiley:

Just having a lie down for his 45.

Driver is ok.
He shouldn’t of been down that end of stroud green rd, God knows why he turned right from the store, should exit straight across.

take another look at the picture :wink:

would high winds do the damage to the top front corner of the trailer?

no, but, hitting the bridge will :wink:

Quite right can’t use high winds as an excuse due to corner damage (+ a day late), reckon its a 4 - 4.2metre trailer trying to squeeze under a 12’ 9" bridge.

Driver probably blindly following cheap sat nav. Or reckoned by going faster the bridge might not notice.

As mentioned probably an agency muppet (no offence intended to agency muppets).

As an agency muppet myself who dabbles for Culina a bit I feel I am unable to disagree with Bald Bloke at this time. :wink:

I did plenty of bridge strikes on recovery . . . & this doesn’t look like one.

For an impact to roll the truck it would need to be a BIG one & that trailer has had nowt more ‘n’ a slight glance !

Never had a rollover where height restrictions stopped us righting it, I reckon they’ll use airbags to allow skids to be placed at the major friction points then drag it out.

Its a strange one but I think the way the bridge is angled has acted like a guide/track to force the wagon over.

Edit: The road camber has also added to the angle of shift + the speed factor, just guessing but reckon the driver thought WTF then was past the point of no return before he know what was happening.

Wish I was a top gun lorry driver like you,bald bloke
Yes that is sarcasm

Why would he be using a prat-nav ■■ Tesco supply very accurate route directions to all of their stores and insist that the drivers follow them.

Why indeed, was he coming from the store and took a wrong turn and the picture shows him (or her) on the wrong side of the road so ether his truck has been dragged all the way across to tip it over, which his highly likely as the kerb would be the final pivot point.

But it all looks very straight almost as if the truck driver was distracted by something parked under the bridge and moved to the right to overtake it without realising the bridge was too low and after getting under the first section thought things where fine.

Some still try it on using sat navs, some don’t know one end of london from the other.
