Car ploughs into Masham Bridge and almost ends up in river
A Masham man was lucky to escape unscathed after he crashed his car into Masham Bridge and almost ended up in the River Ure.
North Yorkshire Police said it happened at around 7.30am on Wednesday morning and the driver was a local man in his early 30s.
A police spokesman said the man "was very lucky to escape without any injuries".
The car was recovered at around 9.00am and damage to the bridge was reported to the county council highways department.
Photos of the aftermath were shared with the Stray Ferret by Masham resident Jason Drew.
It appears a tree was the only thing stopping the car from entering the river.
