URGENT UPDATE: A lorry has dramatically crashed down a steep bank in Nottingham, leaving the vehicle precariously wedged after smashing through a fence at an industrial estate. Nottinghamshire Police were alerted to the scene off Glaisdale Drive East at 4:15 AM on Wednesday, prompting an immediate response.
The driver, a man in his 60s, sustained injuries in the collision and was promptly transported to a local hospital for treatment. Fortunately, authorities report that his injuries are not life-threatening.
Images from the scene reveal the lorry’s trailer bent sharply upwards on the steep incline, while the cab crashed through the fence, coming to rest dangerously close to a nearby warehouse. The dramatic nature of the crash has raised questions about the circumstances that led to the vehicle leaving the road.
A spokesperson from Nottinghamshire Police stated,

The incident has disrupted operations in the industrial area, with police securing the site as they investigate the cause of the crash. Eyewitnesses reported hearing a loud noise before the lorry veered off course, but details on what may have led to this alarming accident remain unclear.
