A bridge in Hinckley, Leicestershire is struck by lorries, causing the road to close, police say. The BBC reports the area is shut after a “road traffic collision” involving the bridge, noting the incident occurs two days after a previous hit.
The Daily Mail says the first collision involves a lorry striking a railway bridge over the A5 Watling Street near Hinckley at 5.52am on Sunday. It reports this initial impact leads to the road closure and describes the bridge as frequently struck. Other details such as injuries or the extent of damage are not specified in the provided excerpts.
Both outlets agree the bridge is hit twice within two days and that transport disruption follows. They differ in emphasis, with BBC framing the second collision and the official description by police, while the Daily Mail highlights the first incident and the bridge’s history of repeated collisions.
