Jackknifed lorry in Silksworth causes changes to public transport routes
Bus routes have been adjusted after a truck became stuck off a road in Silksworth.
Photos posted to social media show the lorry, which is part of a circus, run aground on a patch of grass off Allendale Road.
The impacted area is near the junction of Allendale Road and North Moor Lane, which can be found just off Durham Road near Silksworth Lake.
Bus routes around the area were changed by Stagecoach North East this morning.
The public transport operator has said services 3 and 13 are unable to serve Allendale Roaddue to the lorry. The number three bus will operate along Durham Rd while the 13 will operate along Silksworth Lane near the old Cavalier pub until further notice.
Police are at the scene of the incident.
It is thought the incident happened in the early hours of Sunday, March 15 with Stagecoach confirming the routes are now back to normal at 9:15am.
