A Royal Mail lorry got stuck under a low bridge in Selby today.
It became trapped under the railway bridge at Recreation Road, at about 11.13am this morning (Thursday).
The bridge is clearly marked as having a height limit of 9ft 6ins.
No one is believed to have been hurt in the incident. The road was blocked for an hour while the vehicle was removed.
The bridge carries the Hull to Leeds railway line through Selby. A spokesperson for Network Rail said that they were called out to the incident and oversaw the safe removal of the lorry.
Engineers then checked that the bridge had not sustained any structural damage in the incident.
Those safety checks have now been completed, and both the road and the railway line are operating again as normal.
