A LORRY hit the Whitehouse Bridge during rush hour this morning.

It is believed the incident happened shortly after 9.30am. 

It caused tailbacks while commuters made their way to work but it believed nobody was injured.

A Wiltshire Police spokesman said: "We were called at 9.38am to reports of a lorry stuck under the bridge which was causing problems for people going into town so there is a road closure in place. 

"We are currently letting down the tyres so we can get the lorry out. Hopefully this won't take too long."

Drivers should seek alternative routes while the scene is made safe.
