And another bites the dust or in this case Stonea railway bridge - van is wedged and sliced in half

The driver of a white van is counting the cost of not reading the signs and becoming the latest victim of Stonea railway bridge.

Fenland Policing officers together with workers from Network Rail are at the scene of the accident which happened just before 9am this morning (Tuesday).

The van is embedded under the bridge and appears to have been spliced in half according to a dramatic image posted by Fenland police.

In May a Morrison's supermarket delivery van hit the bridge leaving its contents strewn across the road.

At that time Louise Stephenson who lives close to the bridge called for better signage.

She said: "I really think something needs to be done to stop these crashes. There are not enough warning signs, if you go to the bridge at Ely which used to get hit all the time there are loads of signs warning about the low height.

"There are no signs warning of the low bridge until drivers start to go down the underpass and then it's too late. The landlord of the Golden Lion pub says he sees people backing up and turning around in his car park all the time.

"There needs to be some better warning signs leading up to the bridge. There is not one day goes by without some sort of incident."

Last October Stonea railway bridge was labelled the country's second most bashed bridge by Network Rail when it launched a campaign urging drivers to 'Size up, Wise up' to prevent crashes. At that time the bridge on the Peterborough to Cambridge line had been hit 15 times in 10 months.
