I witnessed a lorry hit the railway bridge on Lingard Lane (Brinnington to Stockport). It was a busy road in those days, now bypassed by the M60. I was driving to Stockport and the oncoming lorry and me passed each other at the exact moment we were under the bridge. The noise was frightening enough but I was blinded by the light from all the sparks that fell on the windscreen. Like being in a steel foundry. Shock and confusion for a split second.
