A road in Hinckley is shut due to the "road traffic collision" with a bridge, police say.

The recent incidents involving 'Britain's most bashed' bridge have raised concerns about infrastructure resilience and road safety.

This bridge has gained notoriety for being frequently involved in collisions, earning it the unflattering title. The frequency of such incidents may indicate a broader issue with driver awareness, road design, or the bridge's location. As the road was shut due to a "road traffic collision," it is essential to investigate the causes of these accidents and implement measures to mitigate the risk of future incidents.

As the authorities investigate the recent incidents, it is crucial to monitor their response and any proposed solutions.
