12-ton drop

Two 12-ton blocks of iron fell from a container flatbed truck in the middle of the road at the Elsie Payne Roundabout, just outside of the Port Authority shortly after 2 p.m yesterday
The road became impassable for over an hour as a crane from Crane and Equipment and a work crew laboured to secure the two chunks of metal and returned them to the vehicle from which they had fallen.  
Here, one of the blocks being lifted on to a truck and (inset) the damage done to the road by the block. (KB)
