One of the "most hit" railway bridges in England has been struck again.

A lorry crashed into the bridge - known as Stuntney bridge - in Ely, Cambridgeshire, at about 13:50 BST on Sunday.

Police posted on Facebook warning people to avoid the Station Road area, but said the road was reopened at about 14:15.

When Network Rail last released figures of its "most bashed" bridges, Stuntney was fifth on it list.
