Footage showing the moment a van hit one of Britain's most-bashed bridges has been revealed. 

The van was travelling in Coddenham Road at about 5.50pm on Wednesday when it tried to scrape under the infamous bridge. 

However, the driver of the van soon found that it was too big to fit under the bridge – and knocked off part of its roof in the process.

Dashcam footage shows it then reverses, but driving away in a different direction. 

The bridge was previously named the most bashed in Britain, but lost its title last year.
