It was only last month that we posted Another lorry in the ditch outside Straitgate.
Today, yet another truck has ended up coming off the B3174 Exeter Road.
What could possibly go wrong with Aggregate Industries' plans for Straitgate Farm to put up to 200 HGV movements a day along this same stretch of road?

#Devon Near Ottery St Mary Exeter Road is CLOSED between Birdcage Lane and Daisy Mount Cross due to an accident and fallen power cables. The road is likely to remain closed for some time as specialist recovery will be required. [PL]— BBC Travel SouthWest (@BBCTravelSW) 15 March 2019
EDIT 16.3.19 According to local reports, the lorry came off the road when trying to pass another truck coming from the opposite direction. The main road into and out of Ottery was closed for some 5 hours as a result. Those familiar with this road will be aware that this type of accident happens all too frequently - many documented on this blog - a clear indication that the road is not suitable for AI’s plans.
