Damn nature, you scary!
The Humber Bridge had to close to traffic after very strong winds caused a truck to overturn earlier this afternoon.
As one of the longest bridges in the world, it’s pretty exposed to the elements and and Humber Roads Police were forced to close it after one truck was blown over near a support tower.

An hour after the incident, the recovery was well under way, but with strong winds set to batter large parts of the UK tonight, caution is advisable if you do have to get behind the wheel.
