Crane slips off the road
A five axle All Terrain crane slipped off a railway bridge earlier today in Cairneyhill, Fife, Scotland.
The crane, a Terex Demag owned by rental company Forsyth of Denny was travelling along the A985 road and crossing the unprotected bridge, when the rear wheels slipped over the edge.

We understand that no one was hurt in the incident which closed the road for a good part of the day.
Dode
I'd just like to confirm that although not the driver/operator myself it was confirmed by VOSA that this was caused by an mechanical fault which caused the rear steer to fail and stick causing the crane to severely veer from normal road travel causing this accident!
