The Lincolnshire Road Safety Partnership says that "driver error"

caused by "excessive speed" is the most probable cause

for the majority of incidents, where lorries have come off the A15

Last week saw two lorries come off the road in the same area,

on subsequent days, and they follow many similar incidents in 2016.

It's led to more questions about the suitability of the road,

Two lorries coming off the same stretch of the A15 one day after.

On Tuesday, this lorry crashed into a ditch

The day after, this lorry, came off the road, managing to stay upright,

but still causing road closures and delays so the

They're similar to the incidents that happened at the beginning

of last year, including a two lorry smash in January, then an overturned

lorry and a transporter, both coming off the road on the 25th

I've spoken to six separate haulage companies to get their take on why

they think this is happening on this stretch of road.

Some say this carriageway simply isn't wide enough.

I've had a couple of wing mirrors get knocked off by lorries that

are just slightly oversized and they've felt the pulling

as you pull into the side, so they've swung back out and it

If you meet another lorry, you just hope you don't clatter each other.

I just feel that the road is not fit for purpose, really.

We don't have these incidents further down,

It is very difficult to keep the lorry nice and straight on those

Only incidents causing death or serious injury are fully

investigated by the Police and Lincolnshire Road Safety

Partnership, so accidents like these will have little record,

but police believe driver error, compounded by excessive speed

If they, as hauliers, recognise that stretch of road to be

dangerous at that speed, then those hauliers

and drivers need to slow down to an appropriate speed and,

Lincolnshire County Council say once the assessments are complete,

they will see if any structural improvements or traffic management

The Northern Powerhouse Minister Andrew Percy has called on people

to get behind the new US President Donald Trump.

Mr Trump has been criticised by some politicians in East Yorkshire

and Lincolnshire over the language he's used towards women

But Andrew Percy, who represents Brigg and Goole, says he can

understand why many Americans voted for President Trump.

Actually scrape beneath the surface of some the things he's been saying

and why and you do get to see, just as in here, actually,

that there's a great divide and a lot of people

and they have legitimate concerns, those people who voted for Trump

-- and we shouldn't poo-poo them just because we happen to think

Hull City's Ryan Mason has been taken to hospital after suffering

a head injury in today's game against Chelsea.

He was carried off on a stretcher wearing an oxygen mask

after receiving eight minutes of treatment.

Diego Costa scored the first for the Premier League leaders.

Then with around ten minutes to go, Gary Cahill sealed the win.

It means Hull City remain in the relegation zone.

Three baby seals that washed up on Lincolnshire's

beaches are being cared for by a sanctuary in Skegness.

The common seal and two grey seal pups became separated

from their mothers during last week's tidal surge.

Now they're being looked after until they're strong enough

It's a crucial point in particularly the grey seals' lives.

They're just sort of leaving the mums at this time of year.

Not quite prepared for life in the big sea out there.

When you get a big storm surge like that, it can be something that

We think they deserve a second chance in the wild.

When you find them all weak and just a bag of bones on the beach,

it is very hard not to try to help, so that's what we do.

And with the weather forecast, here's Owain Wyn Evans.

It's going to be a cold night yet again across

Those temperatures dipping close to freezing if not below freezing.

It will be largely dry, maybe just the odd spot of drizzle

across parts of Lincolnshire and I think one thing we have

to look out for tomorrow morning are some pretty dense

We'll see some frost as well, so slippery surfaces are possible.

However, look at the afternoon, it's looking a lot better.

Highs of 5 or 6 Celsius, so it's going to be a cold one.

A settled story over the next few days.

We'll be back in Breakfast tomorrow morning from 6.25am.

Until then, have a very good evening.

Good evening. If you are dreading the trudge back to work in the

morning I'm not going to help matters. There is the prospect of

nasty, freezing fog over the next couple of days. Quite localised but

tricky out there on the roads. Disruption possible. Check out your

BBC local radio station, go online for the latest updates where you

are. The fog thickening up as I subpoenaing, particularly across

southern parts of the UK. There are warnings in force with some patches

of fog elsewhere, too. A cold one, needless to say. Some places already
