Massive 44-Tonne Artic and 40ft Container Crash Rolls into Ditch on A228

Chaos hit the A228 Grain Road in Rochester this afternoon as a massive 44-tonne artic lorry, hauling a 40ft container, flipped into a ditch. Eyewitnesses say the driver appeared to have nodded off at the wheel before the crash.

Major Road Closure Expected

The overturned lorry is causing major traffic disruption. Emergency crews are on site, but clearing the wreck will need a full road closure to lift the huge vehicle out. Motorists are warned to expect delays or seek alternative routes.

Driver’s Condition Unknown

It remains unclear whether the driver suffered any injuries. Emergency services have not released details yet as they assess the situation.
