This lorry driver got himself in a sticky situation when he wedged his vehicle under a bridge.

The trucker attempted to maneouvre the huge vehicle under a rail bridge in Surrey yesterday afternoon without realising it was too large.

The lorry tipped onto its side and got stuck, causing travel chaos for countless commuters trying to get home.

Transport bosses were forced to close the train line, in case the bridge was structurally damaged.

One witness to the crash said: ‘I was in the second car heading towards the lorry when it got stuck.

‘There was this huge almighty crunch and grinding sound, then it came to a halt.

‘The driver got out and he did not look very happy at all.

‘It's a low bridge, which high vehicles are meant to take in the middle, but he just ploughed straight into the side.’
