A lorry carrying a 160-tonne load nearly overturned on a bridge in Jarville-la-Malgrange on Monday, forcing the driver to jump to safety.

A lorry nearly toppled over as it crossed a bridge in Jarville-la-Malgrange, Meurthe-et-Moselle, on Monday. The heavy goods convoy, transporting a 160-tonne load at the time, nearly overturned as it got stuck on a temporary deck on the Gabriel Fauré bridge.

In a video shared by local media outlet Lunéville Actualités, the lorry can be seen slowly tipping over on its side, miraculously coming to rest on the bridge barrier. Fearing that he and his vehicle would fall into the canal, the driver threw himself from the cab, falling nearly two metres.

In the end, the lorry and its load remained lying on its side.
