Safe removals? Van driver gets wedged under bridge
26 July 10
When moving home you want to make sure all your possessions are in the safest of hands, you look for a reputable company who will safely move your goods. The phrase ‘actions speak louder than words’ springs to mind after an article in this week’s press.
A removals van proudly displaying the words ‘Safe Removals’ became lodged under a bridge after the driver misjudged the height of the bridge. The Brockley Railway Bridge in south-east London was struck by the van on Friday, leaving the driver a little red faced and a builder having to reverse the van out from underneath after the driver failed to do so.
As a leading van insurance broker Staveley Head often see articles on HGV’s and van’s getting stuck under bridges and would urge anyone unfamiliar with a vehicle, or checking out a new route to make sure they know the maximum height of the vehicle.
A witness at the scene spoke of a “game of trying to get out both forward and backwards but the van was stuck fast for a good hour.”
Adding:
“He was burning rubber on the road because it was wedged so tight and he'd ripped the top of the cab.”
