This is the incredible moment a lorry got stuck under a railway bridge in Rainham this morning - ripping the vehicle in two.

The 10ft 7ins van became wedged in the Scott Avenue tunnel, which has a height limit of just nine feet.

Amazingly, the top of the vehicle was left lying in the road as the vehicle sat stuck under the bridge at about 8.50am.
