The 7.5-tonne lorry came off the southbound carriageway of the A442 Eastern Primary.

It happened near Stafford Park, just before 4.30pm yesterday.
The emergency services were alerted and police closed the road for two-and-a-half hours, causing traffic to come to a standstill.
Paramedics attended the scene but the lorry driver was unhurt.
A Telford police spokesman said: “We closed one lane at 4.55pm and we closed the two lanes at 5pm,” he said.
“We took traffic up off the EP to Randlay Interchange and out the other way. We had to close the road totally for 10 minutes while the vehicle was removed.”
The road was reopened at about 7.35pm.
Elsewhere, a 26-year-old woman was taken to the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital for a check-up after two Ford Fiestas collided by Heathgates Island, Ditherington Road, Shrewsbury, at about 5.40pm yesterday.
