Title: Gritting lorry crashes into house in Cambridgeshire Post by: Chris from Nailsea on February 10, 2012, 21:19:54 Transport related, but posted here for no better reason than that it's a rather bizarre story - from the BBC (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-cambridgeshire-16988468):
Quote A council gritting lorry crashed into a house after careering through four gardens and hitting two parked cars in Cambridgeshire. The lorry driver and a man who was inside one of the cars were taken to hospital with minor injuries following the incident in Toyse Lane, Burwell. Police are investigating the cause of the crash, which happened at 11:50 GMT. Cambridgeshire County Council said it would co-operate with the police inquiry. A police spokesman said the injured man was in a stationary car struck by the lorry. Both the man and the lorry driver - a 44-year-old old man - were free from the wreckage before firefighters arrived. The council said it would not speculate on what caused the crash. ::) This page is printed from the "Coffee Shop" forum at http://gwr.passenger.chat which is provided by a customer of Great Western Railway.
