A key road off the A500 has been shut this morning after a huge truck became stuck under a railway bridge.

Police and Network Rail engineers are currently at the scene on City Road in Fenton[1].

And the section between the Leek Road roundabout to Lytton Street has been coned off with traffic being diverted.

Engineers from Network Rail were called in at around 5.45am while it’s believed patrolling police officers came across the crash.
