A large lorry appears to have been 'abandoned' on a road in Cornwall. Pictures taken show what appears to be a tipper trailer lorry, blocking a junction. A witness said that they believed that the driver has left the scene.

The lorry has become stuck outside of Kernow Cottages, near Truro. The junction of Cusgarne Hill and Coobme Lane and the road themselves are currently blocked by the lorry.

Pictures taken at the scene show the lorry stuck across the road. It appears as though the lorry has attempted to turn right onto Cusgarne Hill from Coombe Lane, and become stuck.

CornwallLive has been told that the lorry became stuck around 6pm this evening, Thursday, November 7. A witness said it appears as though the driver of the lorry is no longer with the vehicle.

They added that there is no sign or warning to drivers that the lorry is blocking the road. We have attempted to contact the company we believe may operate the vehicle.
