Absolute scenes on my road today as a lorry fucked up a turn and has got itself wedged across the road like that ship in the suez canal

Update: no movement. Poor lil dude is still sitting there, hazards forlornly blinking
@stavvers thanks for the frequent live reports. I am on tenterhooks.

@floppyplopper btw please tell me you've seen the videos of the low bridge in the US which scalps lorries
@stavvers @floppyplopper my favourite time for that bridge is when they added sensors to detect a high vehicle approaching and turn the lights red with a warning sign. Because so many drivers saw the lights begin to change and accelerated to get through

@stavvers they could carve it up in place with oxyacetylene torches like a steel whale, to convert it into more portable bits.

Bad news: I have to leave the house for a few hours. Good news: meant I got to take a closer look at the stricken lorry on the way out. Bad news: I don't know how vehicles work so I couldn't possibly tell you what's wrong with it.

@stavvers Well clearly, it's broken.

What I can say is that sickly lorry has signs on it warning of flammable stuff inside, so that's fun

@stavvers The Technical, engineering term for this lorry is "It is fucked".

@stavvers Make pictures, put on fedi, brace for impact

@stavvers Not the same thing.

@stavvers If there aren't at least two more lorries wedged in there when you get back I shall be disappointed.

@stavvers One on't cross beams gone owt askew on't treddle.

A tiny success of sorts! The lorry has crawled into a position where it is only blocking one lane. However, it is very, very sick and will need to be rescued. I am excited to see what sort of lorry turns up to rescue a poorly lorry.

@stavvers I once saw a bendy bus jack-knifed across the Mile End Road, all 4 lanes, and honestly going on foot right across that traffic while smiling was one of the highlights of my life.

@stavvers Strong forklift vibes.
