I took these pictures whilst waiting for the wife to get off a Green line bus.

How did he manage this :smt009, this truck driver must have been drinking his own beer.
He backs in his truck to within inches of the pub bollards and turns his tractor unit at 90% getting his tractor stuck under the trailer and against a road sign.
His near side wheel has dropped down beside a high curb on the traffic island he has parked on and stuck fast, his off side wheel has no traction.

All he can do now is wait for the expensive recovery, do you think he still has a job.
