Chaos after lorry hits building
MOTORISTS were dogged by delays today after police closed a lane of a busy Birmingham road after a lorry crashed into a city centre building.

Health and safety experts were called in to make sure everything was safe but the building did not need to be evacuated and initial investigations showed their had been no major structural damage."
