Waste paper lorry overturns outside Herne Bay - Kent Online

Comments  | 

A trailer of waste paper spilled onto the Old Thanet Way on Friday morning after overturning on a roundabout.

The lorry, from Waste-a-Way Bulk Haulage Contractors, lost its load just after 9am.

It was trying to go round the Herne Bay golf course roundabout with the A299 Thanet Way.

The trailer completely blocked the Whitstable-bound carriageway of the B2205 Canterbury Road out of Herne Bay after turning on its side and spilling paper across the road.

The road between the golf course and Eddington roundabouts was closed to traffic.

The lorry’s cab had detached itself from the trailer and stopped close by. The driver was uninjured.

Police helped seal off the road and divert traffic around the lorry. The vehicle was expected to be recovered and removed on Friday afternoon.
