A PSNI spokesperson said there were “no injuries reported at the time of the incident.”

Emergency services personnel, with the assistance of a local contractor, were able to free the lorry and the road has since reopened.

The low bridge, which has a clearance height of just 11ft, is clearly signposted with yellow warning signs.
