Number 54 and recycling lorry collide outside Scrivens
Langport was brought to a standstill this morning as the recycling lorry and the bus to Taunton got wedged together as they passed by on Bow Street.
Some of those onboard the public transport were thrown through the bus windows into the hatches on the side of the recycling truck and had to be rescued by council workers.
Passengers 'recycled'
"A man in a hi-vis vest got me out of the metal collection hatch but asked me if I fancied leaving my knee replacement inside" said a distressed Somerton woman, "it's a disgrace...I've only had it 3 weeks"
- and there are reports an Eastover student eating a Ginsters pasty from One Stop had his snack thrown down the food shute.
"Luckily, the automatic food sensors rejected it and it was spat back out again" said the 17 year-old, "I found it in a hanging basket outside The Town Hall...it was still soggy as well, I was delighted"
The road was completely blocked for over an hour but there there were no serious injuries.
Many thanks to all those who sent in photographs. Coincidentally, you all added the word 'chaos' to your pictures.
Marvellous, we'll have you writing Carry On Langport's headlines is no time.
