Lorry chaos at Kingsdown
12:19, 21 December 2010
A lorry carrying 500 frozen Christmas turkeys caused chaos when it became lodged in a narrow street in Kingsdown.
The accident happened when a driver from Whites Transport Limited, Minster, reversed down Upper Street after dropping off 100 birds to the Black Pig Butchers. The road was blocked for three hours.
Witness Philip Evemy said: "It backed into Church Cliff so it could straighten out, but it got stranded with the cab butting the wall by Kingsdown Holiday Park."
