A HOLIDAY in York took a turn for the worse when a mobile home became wedged under Skeldergate bridge.

Police were called to Terry Avenue to help the stricken motorists on Tuesday morning.

Despite a sign informing motorists the bridge is not suitable for any vehicle measuring above 8ft 6inches, the van became wedged on a bar hanging below the bridge.

Police urged motorists to concentrate when driving as the incident had used up valuable resources.

NYP York City tweeted: "This was very resource intensive due to a momentary lapse of concentration. Now removed but concentrate!"
