Police attend after van gets stuck under Stonea railway bridge

A bridge which has become a hotspot for crashes has been struck again.

Police were called to Stonea bridge alongside the Sixteen Foot drain at 9.51am after a van ploughed into the low overpass.

Officers attended, but the incident has been left in the hands of the Highways Agency and Network Rail to deal with.

The driver of the van sustained no injuries in the crash.

A Network Rail spokesperson said: “Our teams were immediately dispatched to inspect the bridge, and no structural damage was found, allowing train services to safely resume shortly.

“Bridge strikes like this cost taxpayers millions of pounds every year and are entirely avoidable.”
