Thank you very much. That is it from us. | :00:00. | :00:09. | |
A van driver has walked away with minor injuries after his vehicle | :00:10. | :00:14. | |
crashed over a bridge and plunged 20 feet into the fast flowing river | :00:15. | :00:18. | |
Tamor. The partially submerged transit van came to rest near | :00:19. | :00:21. | |
Gunnislake after the accident early this morning. | :00:22. | :00:31. | |
A Brooklyn Bridge and a 20 foot drop into the river and 200 yards | :00:32. | :00:37. | |
stream, a partially submerged transit van and incredibly, the | :00:38. | :00:41. | |
driver managed to get to safety. As far as the aware, the driver was | :00:42. | :00:46. | |
with the vehicle all the way through and he made his escape after it came | :00:47. | :00:53. | |
to rest downstream. We don't know where the driver managed to get out | :00:54. | :00:57. | |
of the river but there is his vehicle, pointing straight back up | :00:58. | :01:00. | |
towards the bridge. It really is an incredible escape. It happened at | :01:01. | :01:06. | |
around 9am this morning. It appears the van was crossing the bridge from | :01:07. | :01:10. | |
Cornwall when something went wrong. Sometimes lorries scrape the side of | :01:11. | :01:20. | |
the wall because it is very tight. This is the most serious accident we | :01:21. | :01:24. | |
have had here for a long time. The van driver, a 30`year`old man were | :01:25. | :01:29. | |
leaved to be from the area, was taken to be hospital but it is | :01:30. | :01:33. | |
thought he only had minor injuries. It is a pleasant surprise to find | :01:34. | :01:37. | |
that somebody is OK after such a fall. It is not clear when the | :01:38. | :01:45. | |
bridge will reopen. One thing is certain, the driver of this ban is | :01:46. | :01:53. | |
very lucky. That bridge will be closed for at | :01:54. | :01:55. | |
least a week. Several gale force winds are | :01:56. | :01:58. | |
expected to bring further disruption to coastal communities later today. | :01:59. | :02:02. | |
Gusts of up to 70 miles an hour could force the high tides to | :02:03. | :02:05. | |
overtop sea and harbour walls. Jersey has been hit by stormy seas | :02:06. | :02:08. | |
today and some homes were left without electricity. In Portreath in | :02:09. | :02:13. | |
Cornwall there was some minor flooding with this morning's high | :02:14. | :02:16. | |
tides but the Environment Agency say more severe weather is on its way | :02:17. | :02:23. | |
this afternoon. This weekend sees Yeovil Town away | :02:24. | :02:26. | |
to Nottingham Forest and Plymouth Argyle try to end their losing | :02:27. | :02:29. | |
streak against Mansfield Town at Home Park. Exeter City bid to stop | :02:30. | :02:34. | |
their slide down League Two with a good result at Burton Albion. Winger | :02:35. | :02:39. | |
Danny Stevens is back with Torquay United on a short`term contract | :02:40. | :02:43. | |
until the end of the season. He could feature at Portsmouth. | :02:44. | :02:48. | |
Exeter Chiefs winger Jack Nowell is prepared to make his senior | :02:49. | :02:51. | |
international debut for the England rugby team later today. The | :02:52. | :02:55. | |
20`year`old who is from Newlyn, goes straight into the deep end against | :02:56. | :02:59. | |
France in Paris this evening. The weather is next. | :03:00. | :03:10. | |
We have further heavy showers on the way for this afternoon and some | :03:11. | :03:14. | |
strong winds. We do have a Met Office yellow warning and we could | :03:15. | :03:23. | |
see gusts of up to 60 miles an hour. Heavy showers this afternoon. They | :03:24. | :03:28. | |
will form a band a time, ringing a risk of hail and thunder. Highs of | :03:29. | :03:35. | |
just seven or eight degrees. This evening, the showers ease away and | :03:36. | :03:41. | |
they become more of a scattering by the early hours. Lows of four or | :03:42. | :03:48. | |
five degrees. Tomorrow, further showers expected and a blustery day | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
but the winds not as strong and more sunny spells. | :03:53. | :03:55. | |
I'm back with the evening news at 7:00pm. | :03:56. | :04:02. | |
Do have a very good afternoon. Goodbye. | :04:03. | :04:08. | |
Some of us will have to brace ourselves today. Leaning forward | :04:09. | :04:14. | |
into the wind. If you live over the west of the UK, there are gale-force | :04:15. | :04:19. | |
winds on the way, but the main hazards are the gales and the | :04:20. | :04:22. | |
potential for flooding. | :04:23. | :04:24. |
