Version 0 of 2.

The dramatic moment a lorry crashed through the barriers of a motorway and was left hanging over the side of a bridge was caught on camera.

The images show the lorry jack-knifing across the carriageway before it almost plunged onto the A2 near junction 2 of the M25, south of Dartford, Kent.

A section of the M25 and part of the A2 were shut in both directions for the recovery operation following the crash on Wednesday afternoon.

The driver was not seriously injured.
