Mr Mitchell able to complete his round

On Sunday morning a Bideford Dairies milk lorry, driven by Mr Geoffrey Mitchell, of Bideford, left the Bideford-Barnstaple road near Westleigh, smashed through concrete posts and wire and finished up on its side on the railway embankment.

The lorry was carrying a load of full and empty milk bottles, most of which were broken.

Mr Mitchell escaped with very slight injuries and was able to return to the dairy to collect another lorry and load to complete his round.
