Pictured: Brand new Ford cars demolished after transport lorry gets stuck under bridge

This is the moment a fleet of gleaming, brand new Ford cars were completely wrecked after the massive lorry they were being transported on became wedged under a bridge.

These pictures show the minute the sparkling vehicles were reduced to twisted metal after the driver of the lorry had a day to forget.

The driver of the lorry is thought to have wanted to find a short cut and decided to try going under a low bridge

None of the cars had even had the chance to clock up a single mile before they were sent to the scrap yard after the hapless driver took a short cut he would live to regret.
The smash happened last week when the unnamed driver decided he wanted to avoid queuing traffic so ducked under a 14.5ft high bridge.

At around 8.30am on March 13 the driver drove under the Snowford Hill railway bridge near Long Itchington, Warks., and immediately got stuck.
One motorist who witnessed the crash said: "It was like watching it in slow motion.

"It's a long road and it was pretty obvious the transporter was too high for the bridge but it kept going and suddenly there was a crunch and all these new cars got wrecked.

"The driver wasn't hurt but he looked as white as a sheet, he was no doubt trying to think of how he was going to explain it to his bosses at Ford.

 It had to be Friday 13th when the accident happened. If you want take a chance on a short-cut that is not the day to try your luck."

It is believed the damage to the cars and the bridge will run into tens of thousands of pounds.
An engineer from Warwickshire County Council was sent to inspect the damage and make a report back.

A spokeswoman for Ford confirmed the "serious incident" was currently under investigation and said it was not possible to comment further at this stage.
