Police in Burnham were forced to shut a section of road in Burnham today (February 18) after a lorry collided with a bridge.

Billed as 'Lorry v Bridge' by officers from Slough Thames Valley Police, the incident occurred on Station Road shortly after 5pm.

There were no injuries in the incident, which forced the street to close for a number of hours.

Police on the scene were forced to pull the white truck from the railway bridge themselves - but claimed they didn't have the strength to take it any further.

A spokesperson joked at the time: "We have pulled it off the bridge ourselves but as we are just response cops and not from our Armed Response Unit, we haven't drunk enough protein shake to move it any further.

"So sorry about that.

"Recovery is coming, we are doing everything we can to open the road."

The northbound stretch of the road was opened at around 7pm according to TVP Slough Facebook.
