The vehicle became trapped along the A4034 Bromford Road in Oldbury late on Tuesday morning, under the bridge serving Sandwell and Dudley railway station.

Transport for West Midlands said bus services 3 and 3A had been diverted as a result.

A photo of the lorry was shared on Twitter, with Mark Masterson saying the trapped vehicle was "causing chaos".

A number of vehicles have been stuck under the bridge in recent years, causing disruption on trains and for motorists.

West Midlands Railway services were reported to be running as normal.

A large warning sign is located on both sides of the structure saying "low bridge", while the height restriction of 4m (13ft 3in) is displayed in a red circular sign.
