A video has emerged of a lorry knocking over a traffic light on Skipton Road in Harrogate.
The footage appears to show a bus being towed at the junction with King’s Road, outside Bilton Working Men’s Club on Monday morning.
The trailer hits the barrier and the traffic light, which is knocked over.
The incident was one of many to cause disruption on Harrogate’s roads on Monday.
You can watch the clip below.
Barry Robertson, from Middlesbrough, uploaded the footage, which was recorded as he was driving through Harrogate.
He said drivers beeped their horns to alert the lorry driver when his vehicle got close to the barrier and traffic light.
He added that an elderly man in a car in the opposite lane where the traffic light crashed was left bemused by the incident.
“It was quite bad.
“There was an old man in the car. I don’t think he realised what happened.”

Police later attended the scene and the light was moved, but traffic was left queueing for miles in both directions.
The situation was made worse when resurfacing work outside the Leon drive-thru on Wetherby Road caused traffic to queue back onto Skipton Road.
