Drove under that bridge only last month in an attempt to avoid the crowds on the A30 - only to get stuck behind a planting/harvesting trailer towed by the World's slowest tractor for 8-10 miles or so

A bridge in Machynlleth was struck yesterday, a tipper lorry hit it, the driver had forgotten to lower the tipper body!

It’s happened again.
It probably won’t make the national news as the bridge itself wasn’t damaged as much this time, but the top of the lorry was a bit crumpled, and cars going under it weren’t held up for long.
Give it a few more weeks/months and it will happen again.
