So yesterday while on my way home a section of a bridge on the M11 southbound just before the Bray North exit ad fallen off, it had just happened, my wife was driving and i took my small cam out of the glovebox and got a snap...

Now it wasn't a good snap and the rain was bad so I dropped the wife home, turned around to see if I could get another one. Got back to the scene just as the cops arrived so I pulled over to get a shot and also went on top of the bride to check out the damage

Apparantly a truck hit the bridge, on the front here

and then tore off the section at the back

Now after all that, I came straight home - sent an email off the all the papers, told them where it happened, showed them pics - Got no reply but every paper has got the details wrong yesterday evening and today, some saying it was on the M50 - others saying it was a new foot bridge...

Morons :rolleyes:
