The lorry got stuck and the big tow track had to pull it out. Sorry I didn't film that
A large red lorry was too tall and hit the Orpington station bridge. It got wedged and was stuck. A special tow vehicle came out and pulled the red lorry back sot it was free. This video shows the red lorry reveresing up the hill and turning around. Then the road was back to normal. The traffic was messed up for quite a while. Shot on canon SX280. - Авто та транспорт
Im gonna say the truck never hit the bridge. There is no damage to the cab or the trailer, the wrecker has driven off on its own, and the police are driving away. There are no railway engineers checking the bridge. If he had hit the bridge, the trailer would be damaged at the top, and the bridge would be closed until its checked for safety.
The man at 02:10 is a post checker. He is making sure that the silver post is not about to fall on the truck, causing more grief for the driver. After doing his job he can't keep still until he finds his next post to check.
meth head!!
Lol good one
The car park attendant was having a major power rush! Reminded me of the RMP back in my soldiering days- lots of arm waving and trying to look important, but no actual help at all! Haha!
A world without carpark attendants is a world of chaos.
These truck drivers get such a hard time… just a man trying to earn a living, we all make mistakes
OK, the driver should've been aware of the bridge height but to have to back up and them a blind side reverse into the station forecourt with that lot looking on isn't easy.
And you can bet the public are all experts lol
I think the trailer height was the problem
If he bothered to take notice of the dual sig s stating bridge height he ignored then reversing wouldn’t have been required.
@stevenmoran4060 always an expert ready to criticize.....
Wow. I lived in Orpington years ago. It's amazing how much of that area has changed and yet so much is still the same.
That is not a particularly tall trailer but to give the bloke his due its not that easy always getting bridge heights right, I have had to reverse back from bridges myself with pallet loads which of course are not always the same height. But there was no apparent damage done just a lot of inconvenience
I used to work for this company until I left in April. Thankfully I don't recognise the registration or either of the colleagues involved, because if I did know them I would not hold back in taking the piss. Clearly the driver didn't take any notice of the big poster in the transport office that says "avoid bridge bashing"
I don't think it actually hit the bridge? 1) no damage to trailer 2) Trains are still running on bridge, and it is standard to stop all trains until bridge is inspected by an engineer! 3) The 2 HGV's at the end of the video are the some height and there have just driven under the bridge? 4) The trailer just dose not look over 4.5 meters as signed? My guest is that something has gone wrong with the unit and needed recovery and could not be towed under the bridge?

Certainly can't see any damage to the truck, and as you say trains still running
It's "normal" trailer. Height 4-4.05 m. Something is wrong in that 4.5 sign and -bridge too...
No, the UK height limit for 44 tonne (6-axle) operation is 4.2m. If below 40 tonne there is no limit - but motorway bridges are 5.5m. It all went "wrong" just after the 44 tonne/4.2m thing was introduced (when John Prescott was transport minister) when the Eddie Stobbart company bought trailers over 4.2m but had a line marked all around the inside of the side curtains and the wording "Do not load above this line if over 40 tonne GVW". It was deemed legal and everyone followed suit. Despite Dentressangle is a (very) French company they must have a UK operation because it's a rhd truck. To be fair to the driver it was a very gentle touch which didn't even damage the trailer. The height and weight limit in mainland Europe is 4.0m/40 tonne GVW.
@Lancashirelad You would need to get an old copy of the Road Vehicles (Construction and Use) regulations.
@Lancashirelad I saw the white line inside the curtains - mid 90's - and there was initially an associated 4.2m limit. After Stobbart and probably others took the piss it was abandoned. (I was engineering director of a big trailer company then.)
@Lancashirelad The first was correct for a period of time, I think the second also. Either way, no big deal is it?
Sign says 4.5m bridge and that truck is 4m so how the hell did it get stuck ?
I always find it AMAZING that just about every You Tube video showing trucks slamming into bridges will ALWAYS find some people claiming the road was re-surfaced, the signs weren't accurate etc etc etc.
Really now....
I can't take this any more. That's two lorry crashes I've watched on UA-cam in just one day. I can't cope
Stopped before bridge didnt hit it so why post this he just needed to reverse and find another route but at 14ft 9in he shouldnt of had problem. Obviously people held up and not happy so get the noisy slow filthy trucks of the road but only untill it effects them which would be a day or two maybe a week. Couldnt buy food for table fuel for car etc etc Better idea give him some room let hime turn around and get the traffic moving asap
He did hit the bridge read the news article someone posted a link to it in the comments looks like his air kit hit the bridge not sure about trailer
Its annoying! The cameraman should have shown the front of the truck or the front of the trailer!! All he did was showing the truck reversing.
I doubt it hit the bridge, the trailer isn't 14.9 high.
@@kin9225 there is a link in the description if you click it it takes you to the news report on it with pic of the front of it . The trailer hit the bridge but caused no damage it's just leaning to 1 side
@@keltthomas8476 Oh dear, so it is!! Network rail is going to screw his insurance for it now!! Cancelling train schedules, bridge inspection etc etc , claims could run into 10s of thousands!!!
One of our drivers ran into the bridge, no visible damage to bridge, but network rail charged the company I worked for something like £67k!!
@@kin9225 its lost revenue closing the line and haveing enginers called for inspection of the bridge it costs a fortune I drive a 16ft tall largos walking floor and it's easy to forget how tall the trailers are . We had a driver smack a bridge a few years ago it did some serious damage it cost the insurance company over 500k
I feel sorry for the driver having to drive a Renault premium....that’s punishing enough....worst unit I’ve ever drive never mind tramp in....he was probably trying to commit unit suicide...but the Renault probably didn’t have the power to cause and damage...
can see the bridge height sign of 14' 9" and doesn't look like there's damage to the top of the trailer or wind deflector on top of cab, theory with me is the trailer is a 14' 6" with a possibility that the road under the bridge has maybe been resurfaced which has decreased the overall height clearance.....just a thought :/
Good theory mate. That trailer I think is between 15" and 15.5" ...ND don't have trailers below 15 mate to the best of me knowledge. He's definitely chanced that 1!!!
Notice the shop on the left "Top Awards" the driver should be handed a free award for his remarkable driving!
!m retired from driving wagons now ? But that bridge is deciveing running downhill past the station ?? But ! You must know your height before you get to the bridge ??.
i love the way that copper walks straight in front of that wagon just as its about to move off without a high vis and then stop a car turn in the opposite direction which in theory would not interfere with the artic manoeuvring the junction safely
no damage, 4.5 metre bridge, most Norbert trailers are suitable for European work, max height 4 metres over there. Think he bottled it cos he didn't see the sign! Proper numpty who gives professional drivers a bad name!
If he did hit the bridge, how come the truck's roof spoiler and the trailer are undamaged?
This is vehicle!
Roof spoiler is probably lower than the bridge. I'm guessing there may be some paint missing on the trailer roof.
cjmillsnun uuuuk
Exactly mate!
I don't know how this got so many views??
Anyway
Here is a news article which shows the lorry stuck under the bridge
www.newsshopper.co.uk/news/10519183.Train_and_traffic_delays_after_lorry_hits_Orpington_bridge/
The lorry got stuck and the big tow track had to pull it out. Sorry I didn't film that,
+J W some one is using s bot. to pump up the views.
J W ?
that bridge is deceving it because of the rake of the hill ?
My guess is the sign is wrong, the reefer that goes past usually run at around 13"7 to 13"9 and there doesn't seem to be over a foot in height difference although the camera angle isn't great. However, the trailer should have an overall running height sticker on it based on a 5th wheel height as that makes a difference.
The fat little security guard trying to be a police contractor cracked me up
Buen vídeo 👌 gracias.
This goes to show how smart some people are when it come to trucks. the high on the bridge it 14.9 feet high or 4.5 m.. I know this from chicago IL what a sign read isn't always what the roads are.
did it realy hit it??.. if it had hit it thay would have stopped trains running but you see one going past.
One of my first trucking jobs was delivering to that very Renault garage.
My dad works for an irish freight company and collects from norbert with his 26 tonner lorry and 18 tonner lorrry
Bless him
Not paying attention to the signs. Very important when driving HGVs. The hight of the bridge is clearly written on 2 posts.
Inside the cab theccab height would be indicated,the problem is the trailer is higher than the cab ,it the height of the trailer written on the Trailer?????
He made it worse by having the air suspension down on his unit, while trying to reverse out.why did they need a recovery vehicle there when the truck looked perfectly ok ?
If it was easy everyone would be doing it. Most drivers can’t drive their cars correctly never mind a lorry.
if it got stuck wheres the damage to the trailer ?? thats a 14 ft 9 bridge....maybe he just chickend out or its 15 ft high (doubtful )
Bridge collisions are the kind of incidents that put companies out of business! Railway companies charge the companies thousands an hour as they see it as loss of revenue if the bridge has to be repaired and the service using that bridge is stopped.
Dave Romaine LOL
It doesn't help when you get into an unfamiliar cab and it says 14'3. You've no way of verifying that. And most transport offices will just laugh or tell you to work it out yourself.
So unless you carry a 15 ft ruler around. How do you know?
P.S. they don't paint the roof of the trailer
P.P.S. why was the wrecker there?
+Arthur White A pro truck driver will ask the question and if they laugh at him for doing his job. well they'll end up a driver shorter that shift.
so how would you measure the truck?
Well on the bulkhead of the trailer (every trailer Iv'e seen anyway) There's a measurement such as the trailers hight uncoupled, add that to the high of your th wheel. A + B gives you C.
+Liam Husler every trailer! you live in cloud perfect land
+Arthur White I said That I've seen, this in no way implys that this is the case with every trailer.... Might I suggest A quick re read.
4,5meters? that should be inouf for that truck, i guess if that truck hitted the bridge, those sings must be wrong or need to be uptadet. New tarmac or something?
Ken Adams wtf did you just say?
Xeldinn only trucker can understud this. and yes this is mistake with this sign
Vidmantas Baradulinas What? Only a trucker can understand broken English? lol
oh you mean broken english? i understud him, i dont see problem here
+Ken Adams UK Trailers are higher.
Poster is lying...there was no bridge strike...that particular bridge is prone to strikes and is fitted with a strike monitor and when it is triggered the signals on the railway either side automatically turn red and no trains can cross until a Railtrack inspector has checked the structure, the train crossing at 0:15 would not happen. My guess is he pulled up short when he realised he wasn't going to make it. Don't try to bullshit us.
Double-decker go under that bridge,how high is that lorry lol
well the driver did nothing wrong. the sign sait 4,5m witch is more than enough for that truck.
He hit the bridge so the sign must be wrong
+MrLembnau Numpty was probably driving with his suspension raised before he set off for the day.
+Airtrooper719 XBL wrong modern trucks reset the suspension at something like +15 mph
Duelcoot 88 No not wrong, I drove a Scania R420 last week as a replacement for my newer Scania which was having its inspection. Had 1,000,000+km on the clock must have been fairly old. When I got to my drop I noticed the suspension light stayed lit the whole journey, and I had to manually reset it before picking up my next load.
@Lancashirelad Responding to me 4 years ago.... Yes I should have!
That was some impressive blind siding, especially with the silly public leaning on the railings and everyone watching
I bet Norbert wasn't best pleased...
Actually watching it again its quite strange! You wouldn't tow it out as that would course more damage, you would lower suspension and lit the types down to free it from the bridge?
3:42 tht guys beard is amazing OMG
Why the towing truck?
4.5m ? it should pass easy here
So he didn't hit the bridge then, yet a recovery truck on standby, could have done with maybe, full fire service turnout, air ambulance, Dr, and surgeon on standby, in a specialist refreshment tent for all the rescue services, mountain rescue etc, maybe throw in a preacher to perform a service if needed, i know, sounds a little ott, as was the title
did he hit the bridge ?
How ironic. A Renault crashes right next to a Renault dealer :D Only if it was a Renault Trucks. :) Wish it was a Magnum, terrible trucks, i don't like Renault at all. I feel for the driver driving that really nice Scania Highline. Also that M.A.N. TGX was really nice.
Hammerhead Beer Reviews I just hate the looks on the outside, it looks like a brick on-top of 4 or 6 wheels. Don't even get me started on the interior!
Hammerhead Beer Reviews Haha, i like one part of the truck which is the bed in it. Nice and cosy.
Hammerhead Beer Reviews Nope! Would love to see a video of it though!
Hammerhead Beer Reviews Haha. :) Nice talking to you!
U know fa all about dem we have 2 real nice ones done up really good truck
Now, try doing that in New York with a sleeper on your cab while hauling a 53' footer trailer
Someone didn't read their risk assessment sheet before setting off that morning. Lol
+Dan Coleman-Goss No risk assement needed just the ability to know ya height, road signs and have some degree of navigation. I drive double deckers daily at 16 feet tall and I can tell u straight away that , that curtain sider ain't going under a 14,9 bridge. The driver should ahve known that but I guess he didn't check his vehicle height.
A Norbert Dessentrangel lorry from France, so who can blame the driver if he follows his Sat Nav? Very few bridges like this in France - level crossings rule!
I always approach bridges with caution
***** you have just contradicted yourself.
What a clown it’s well signposted for low bridge, driver must be a sat nav man.
Drivers like that put the profession to shame 🤬🤬🤬🤬
I remember that Garage ,I used to deliver BMW parts there .
i wonder why he cant drive under that bridge i see a sign whit 4,5 meter that means 4 meter 50 cm and he is not allowed to be more than 4 meter high in total
not in the uk, only in rest of europe where the max height of trailers is 4.0m high
That's a high trailer at over 16.9 foot, he would have to take care on motorways as well.
The bridge is only 14 foot 9 inches.
Andrew Beaumont I know I used one that used to carry flat pack cardboard boxes, what a cow getting round some places with it,
Some of the very heavy big loads I used to pull around were 19' high and 19' wide and police escorts didn't always get the routes right either, I have had some cowing terrible roads to reverse back up cos they took me the wrong way.
Get a truck mate Satnav and this problem goes away forever!
One of the reasons God made Cabovers !!
Another jobs worth copper showing off
my ladder clamps allways twat the height restricters and swing over when entering the shopping center lol
That trailer doesn't look over 15ft high to me!
I was thinking the same thing.. love to know the actual height of trailer and if the actual measurement on the bridge is accurate.
I agree , I'm a truck driver and most units are 4 mitres high , the trailer looks no more than 14 ft ,
Anyway the problem over here in the uk is stupid over height trailers, which you dont see in the rest of
Europe, with that trailer you wouldn't get to far out of calais before you had a problem.
Damn if you do make a mistake damn if you don't make a mistake .
More complicated than it needed to be parking a small planet.
They’re not called Norbert Dangerous angle for nothing!.
There is a sign 4.5m so this lorry should pass easily .
Why not dig the road lower so they can get under
hit the bridge at 14'9 I don't think so
TM
Ahoj Martine,máš FB,potřeboval bych dost pokecat ohledně MKD!!
Renault truck next door to renault dealer quite fitting
Major incident fuck my scratch on the trailer and a slight scratch on the bridge paint.quick call the police and army in and anyone that's important
ironic.... that free body work sign????
there is no damage why would they need the wrecker
there wasnt a wrecker there mate, it was an HGV recovery vehicle :)
i just do not understand how these drivers do not know their height I have had to finish driving hgv's gthrough ill health so Ispeak as a person who has driven all over europe
Orpington is near we're I live in south east london
ㄌㄨㄡ兩點半ㄙ˙ㄨ˙ㄔˊㄊ
Good it happened st a time, pre brexit, when lorry drivers were expected to be able to reverse
Even the garden gnome in the pink and white hat came to look
2:12 to 2:17 tht guy cant he even stand fucking still
i think he is pissed
ahahah yeah m8 he probably had a house party ahah
bullshit,that is not a 4.50mtr truck.brit european drives past and he is a 4mtr european truck.same height!!!!!!!
Unusual amount of hate in these comments
De toutes façons c'est un chauffeur de l'est donc en marche avant pas de problèmes mais pour les manœuvres c'est pas pareil
Sound: Off. Reason? Annoying!
Poor lad is driving a crappy Renault as well..!!!
that trailer is probably 15ft plus but if the bridge was an arch then that wouldn't have done him much good in lowering the suspension his best bet would be learn to read english
Haha just saw you at the end. Nice hat
can't see were the comment below got the hight of the trailer at 16'9 but as the min motorway bridge hight in the UK is 16'6 this driver must turn round a lot if it is 16'9 lol
never hit the bridge! think that trailer is a 15Ft definately higher than 4 metres
The bridge height say's 16' 9"so the trailer must be higher than 15' 00".
rick petch
I retract this earlier one I posted as I did not see the bridge height properly, SORRY GUY'S.
rick petch
i think the trailer is 14.5ft i work with em alot at my job, and a 16.9ft would be a double decker trailer :D
Yes I think you are right, these double decker cows are good tree trimmers though.
***** Look at the replies above, I did retract and apologize for getting the bridge height wrong,
Maybe you need to see Optic.
lorry too high. cop too fat
not very interesting...

and you can't use your brain
