A council van driver had a lucky escape as poor council road signs and hedge trimming saw him wedged under a Vale Of Glamorgan Bridge today.

A startled road driver in Peterson- Super – Ely couldn’t believe her eyes today when a council van came screaming around a blind corner and got wedged under the village bridge.

Thankfully, after the hair raising incident, more accustomed to American movies than village life in the quaint Welsh Village, the council driver had no physical injuries apart from shock.

Now it’s down to the Vale Of Glamorgan council to at last sort out the signage and get their hedge trimmer out.
