Tesco delivery scuppered by tight turning

Police had to close part of the main road through Addlestone after a lorry delivering to Tesco overshot the turning into a side road.

Station Road was closed from the roundabout at Tesco to the level crossing gates on Friday October 9 morning, after an articulated lorry delivering to the supermarket got stuck at the entrance to Victory Park Road.

Police were called at about 9.30am and the road was closed for more than an hour while the lorry was cleared.

Georgie Carpenter, 19, who was passing at the time, said: "The traffic was all built up through Addlestone, and was much worse than usual.

"People couldn't get along anywhere past the Tesco roundabout, and when I walked past there was a big lorry stuck half way in Victory Park Road.

"It was quite funny to see, but I wouldn't have wanted to be stuck in the traffic behind it."

A police spokesman confirmed that the road was shut by officers in one direction between the station and the main roundabout for about an hour while the lorry was moved.
