A DRIVER had a lucky escape when the top of his lorry was sliced off after it became stuck under an iron bridge near York.
Police said a section of the vehicle, almost a foot high, was ripped away when it wedged under the bridge yesterday afternoon in Huntington Road.
Nobody was injured in the accident and a North Yorkshire Police spokesman confirmed the bridge was later checked by engineers and given the all-clear. The accident, involving a vehicle believed to be owned by a Liverpool-based company, happened at about 3.15pm.
Emergency recovery crews cleared the lorry about an hour later.
