A lorry has crashed into a railway bridge in Tunbridge Wells.

The smash, which happened on the A26 Eridge Road at around 9pm this evening, ripped the top of the vehicle off.

The lorry was heading in the direction of Crowborough when it attempted to go underneath the bridge near the Tunbridge Wells Garden Centre - but it was too tall to fit.
