Bridge still shut after lorry crashes down embankment

One of the bridges over the River Trent in Nottingham will remain closed after a lorry crashed down an embankment.

The vehicle came off the road at Lady Bay Bridge at 08:51 BST on Monday.

Police said the driver's injuries were not thought to be life-threatening or life-altering.

Nottinghamshire County Council advised motorists to take alternative routes using Trent Bridge, Clifton Bridge or Gunthorpe Bridge.

In a joint statement with Nottingham City Council, the authority said it would keep people updated on when the bridge would reopen and thanked drivers for their patience.
