A Dreams van has had its roof severely damaged after crashing into Manningtree railway bridge in Essex.
A Dreams van has suffered serious damage after reportedly crashing into Manningtree railway bridge in Essex. The vehicle's roof was shaven off as it passed underneath the bridge, with pictures posted on social media showing severe damage to the roof and side of the van. The van appeared to be travelling from the Manningtree side heading towards Brantham at the time of the incident.
The incident is not causing any traffic issues. However, the bridge is frequently hit by vehicles passing under it. In May, a van driver was unaware of the damage to their vehicle and continued to drive with its roof damaged. A member of the public called 999 shortly before 7.30am on that occasion, and officers from Essex Police located the vehicle within 15 minutes of the call, with roads policing officers also attending the scene.
