This Foden lost part of its load at George Town, Merthyr Tydfil in 1969, leaving a trail of distruction behind it. :doh:

(Click on pic.to see)
Luckily no one was hurt.

I bet the driver and haulage contractor were in deep s--t. :oops:

Nice picture. I bet the driver didn't take it he was probably long gone. The sort of thing you'd see on the front page of the Merthyr News! :doh:
