Traffic was delayed at one of Norwich’s busiest junctions this morning after a lorry shed its load of metal sheeting.
Vehicles were tailing back along Mile Cross Lane and Boundary Road after the lorry shed its load close to the major traffic lights junction of Aylsham Road.
The lorry shed its load just before 10am and a crane was on the scene by 10.45am to clear the obstruction, but the metal sheeting had also damaged the road so the Highways Agency were also on the scene to assess the situation.
However the road was cleared of debris and traffic was flowing again by 11.20am.

I hope there is a suitable punishment. I got caught shedding my load on the ring road, got a 6 month suspended sentence and had to sign a register for 3 years....

Every day one hears of serious roads incidents involving lorries, with tachographs checking drivers hours and speed limiters on lorries you would think their would less incidents but this does not seem to be the case, any comments from any hgv drivers, i am a ex psv driver never involved in a serious incident.

Let's hope the driver gets given a minimum of 3 penalty points for insecure load, and the bill for the clear up operation.
