Articulated lorry overturns in West Bromwich crash
A main road in the Black Country was left closed when a lorry overturned and collided with a bridge in what appeared to be a freak accident this afternoon.
The articulated lorry flipped on to its side before stopping with the cab resting at a 40 degree angle under the bridge in Oldbury Road, West Bromwich.
Police closed the road, which runs through an industrial area between West Bromwich and Oldbury, in both directions to allow recovery work to take place.
Emergency services were called just after 2pm on Monday afternoon.
Two fire engines from West Bromwich and Oldbury attended the scene along with officers from West Midlands Police and Ambulance services.
The driver was checked out at the scene and is not thought to have suffered any serious injuries.
The route is likely to remain blocked between Albion Road and Roway Lane throughout the evening as the scene is cleared.
