Driver Freed After Lorry Plunges Into Bilborough Service Yard in Early-Morning Crash

Police have opened an inquiry into how the HGV left the road at the industrial estate before dawn, with firms linked to the trailer offering little comment.

Overview

  • Emergency services were called at 4:15 a.m. after the lorry and trailer left the road at Glaisdale Drive East in Bilborough.
  • The HGV smashed through a fence and dropped into a loading yard, becoming lodged between a building wall and an embankment.
  • The driver, a man in his 60s, was rescued from the wreckage and taken to hospital with injuries not believed to be life altering.
  • Police cordoned the entrance to Wingate Close on Wednesday morning as the investigation into the cause continued.
  • The trailer bears Reynolds Recruitment branding, though the firm says it sold the vehicle to ABBCO, and Blue Whale Spa staff at the struck unit declined to comment during the active police inquiry.
