No accident that I noticed on the way home tonight, but there was a close-run thing. Just outside Nottingham there's a low railway bridge, and a lorry coming the other way had stopped about six feet away from it, having apparently realised it was about a foot too tall to pass underneath
There were only a few cars behind it (more arriving every moment though) so it must only just have got there a few moments before I went past. And it's a two-lane road, so the cars behind didn't have much chance of either getting by or turning around, with traffic streaming out of Nottingham from the roundabout ahead of it.
I suspect it will have taken the intervention of the police to get the traffic behind past it, or safely turned back, enough for it to reverse to the nearest place it could turn around
