DRIVERS in Oxford faced delays yesterday morning as a lorry narrowly avoided getting stuck underneath the Botley Road railway bridge.

Police were called at 10.15am after the lorry approached the bridge from Frideswide Square.

Police spokesman Chris Kearney said: “When the lorry driver realised the lorry would not be able to fit under the bridge, he reversed. No-one was hurt.”

Traffic was delayed for about 15 minutes.
