Police have had to assist a lorry that hit a bridge in Ascot after what officers called was 'a major maths fail'. 

Officers were called to the collision in Station Hill Road around 11am on Tuesday. 

A representative from Thames Valley Police said: "TT B Shift are dealing with a major maths fail today in Ascot.

"It should be clear to all that a 4.3m tall HGV won't fit under a 4.2m bridge."

In September, a car transporter lorry has struck a railway bridge in central Reading, damaging several vehicles being carried by the lorry.
