| 摘要： | According to Network Rail, the number of bridge strikes peaks in October, rising to almost 10 per day. In one recent real-life case, a driver failed to safely stow a digger bucket on the back of his truck (which is not pictured). It required the A23 between London and Brighton to be shut in both directions while the security of the bridge was inspected by engineers. The arm collided with a bridge with such force that the impact severed the digger bucket from the vehicle. The driver, a Mr Schofield, then continued to drive until he was stopped by police. Further investigation revealed that the truck also had two defective tyres at risk of exploding. The driver failed to stow the digger bucket safely despite the vehicle being fitted with an alarm system warning the driver of the fault. |
