Watch: Loaded trailer blocked by Marsa junction overpass

The situation was resolved within minutes after the vehicle was diverted via the Marsa sports grounds, TM said

A large cargo vehicle was forced to divert via the Marsa sports grounds on Friday after its load exceeded the height of an overpass.

Footage posted by news outlet Talk.mt shows the trailer, carrying what appears to be two large wheel-like items, stopped underneath an overpass in the outside northbound lane of the Marsa junction.

A stationary car can be seen behind the trailer, as traffic moves slowly around it. 

Transport Malta said the vehicle was being escorted by officers from the Local Enforcement System Agency (LESA) when it became stuck, but said the situation was resolved within minutes after TM officials redirected the trailer through the Marsa sports complex grounds.
