Delays after lorry hits notorious A5 Watling Street bridge

A lorry has crashed into a notorious railway bridge in Leicestershire.

Leicestershire Fire and Rescue Service (LFRS) said crews were called to the bridge over the A5 Watling Street in Hinckley - which was once dubbed the "most bashed" in Britain[1] - at 08:32 GMT on Sunday.

One lane was closed, the fire service said, adding there were no injuries reported.

National Highways said traffic delays were expected to last until about 13:30.
