A LORRY carrying a crane has crashed into a railway bridge in Blackburn.
Police and recovery vehicles were called at 7.50am this morning to Plane Tree Road, Little Harwood, after the crane became lodged under the bridge.
The front wheels of the lorry were lifted into the air, and the rear of the lorry was pushed into the road, damaging the surface.
Blackburn with Darwen Council highways team were also called to the scene, after fears the damaged surface would be unsafe for motorcylists.

The truck driver responded "No officer, I was delivering this bridge and ran out of petrol".

Trains will either be delayed or cancelled until the bridge has been inspected by Rail Track, who are based miles away.
The Police will roll out their surveying kit and faff around for a few hours..
Fire service will stand around, not having a clue what to do..
The recovery team will need to have specialised lifting gear on the scene..
Tip-offs to local TV and radio stations have to be made..
Put me down for a quid that it won't be cleared before 2'o'clock, will you?

Police on arrival asked the truck driver "Got stuck heh?"
The truck driver responded "No officer, I was delivering this bridge and ran out of petrol".

If this is your idea of humour, I suggest that you cease and desist from it..
Your comment brings nothing to the table, apart from a blatant insult to an individual. Far better that you attack the issue, not a person.
Keiths' joke is, by far and away, funnier than yours..
I was going to say that they should check to see if the bridge is magnetic but your comment put me off.
Only recently, your comment was to the effect that I had moderated my tone. Apologise to Jack or my gloves come off and you know that I know the whole 9 volumes of the Hadith, including the funny parts that should never be spoken of to the Kufr.
