Tram and lorry collide in Nottingham city centre


The tram and lorry collided in Nottingham city centre

A tram and a lorry have collided in Nottingham city centre.

It happened at 09.30 BST on Saturday at the junction of Cheapside and Bridlesmith Gate, blocking both roads.

Police cordoned off the scene but said clearing it was complicated due to overhead power lines. There are no reports of injuries.

Services were suspended between Nottingham Station and Royal Centre until shortly before 13:00 with continued disruption to the timetable.

A nearby branch of Barclays bank was evacuated as a precaution.


The tram suffered substantial damage in the collision

William Huskisson MP▸ (Member of Parliament, or Mile Post (a method of measuring the railway in miles and chains from a starting point - usually London), depending on context) was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830.  Many more have died in the same way since then.  Don't take a chance: Stop, Look, Listen.

"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner."  Discuss.
