Lorry Trailer Hangs From Motorway Bridge After Crash in Kent

A lorry, or semi-trailer, collided with a roadside barrier on a motorway bridge and was left hanging precariously from its side in Kent on April 7.

Kent police instated road closures after they received reports that the trailer of the vehicle had breached a safety barrier on junction two of the M25 in Dartford and was hanging from the side of the bridge above the A2.

Footage taken from the Darenth Interchange by Stuart Sherry shows the trailer jutting from the bridge as cars drive on beneath it.

No serious injuries were reported and the roads were reopened in the early hours of April 8 after the vehicle was recovered and repairs were completed. Credit: Stuart Sherry via Storyful
