Motorists urged to avoid road in Newport after lorry topples scaffolding
Motorists have been urged to avoid a main town road after a lorry crashed into scaffolding outside a shop.
The collision happened on Stafford Road in Newport, at the entrance to the town's bus interchange and main town centre car park. Police shared a picture of toppled scaffolding balancing precariously against the back end of the white lorry.
Officers have also taped off an area in front of shops. Nobody was injured.
Newport Safer Neighbourhood Policing Team said at 11.50am that they are "currently in attendance at an RTC on Stafford Road," adding: "The road is likely to be closed for some time. Please avoid the area where possible while the area is made safe.
"Luckily no-one was hurt, just the scaffolding."
