Brighton Cross Garage
Austin K9 4x4 recovery truck.
It reads St Austell on the cab door, if you look on Google Earth now
this is Cornwall Commercials, Brighton Cross, Truro.
I expect those that live and work there know where it is.!!

Probably at the same time (1960 for this one), Citroën produced the 23.50 4x4. Rather similar look…

Just found this picture of the A562 near Widnes, on the Bootle Times Forum.
Apparently, it happened at 6.35 this morning. It looks like what was an 8 wheeler.

Has the driver noticed ? Is he coming back for it ?. Bet it rattled his teeth for him Ray

Thankfully, if he was wearing a belt, he had no more than a shock. Many years ago in Derby I saw a breakdown lorry try to get under a low bridge. The crane hit the bridge but did not separate, instead the front of the wagon was jerked upwards crushing tha cab completely. The driver did not survive.

I wonder if in this case the separation was sudden with the impact or if someone came out with a hot spanner. Whichever it was, waiting for it to be removed safely and damage to the gantry, obviously closed that motorway for the duration.

Similar in this area with a farm owned tipper on the A127 near Southend on Sea. It was thought the driver had left the pto engaged and then perhaps moved the tipping spool lever. Passed under a foot bridge which was taken off the stanchions and crushed the cab.
