Fallen lorry forces main shopping street to close

Part of Strand Street has been closed off this morning after a lorry toppled over at a building site.

The concrete pump lorry slid off its platform and fell on its side at the site of the former Leisure Arcade.

Island Drainage and Groundwork are currently carrying out work on the site to turn it into a new Topshop store.

It's understood one worker was knocked over when the lorry toppled - there is no update on his condition although it's believed he escaped without serious injury.

TVIM was first on the scene and you can see a full report from 4.30pm this afternoon.
