A BUSY road through Amersham was blocked this morning after a piece of metal got wedged in a rail bridge and hung over the roadway.

According to traffic reports, a lorry struck the bridge over the A416 Station Road, near Amersham station, at about 7.30am.

Firefighters from High Wycombe and London Underground staff were able to remove the piece of metal with the help of a turntable ladder.
