Yacht gets stuck under Chelmsford bridge

A motorist captured the moment a yacht got stuck under railway arches while being carried on a loader.

The huge boat was being transported through Chelmsford city centre in Essex when it became wedged in the arches.

A video of it has been seen more than half a million times on Facebook.

Workers wearing reflective clothing could be seen trying to shift the boat, while cars were forced into a single lane.

Essex Police said the boat was free within 10 minutes.

The bridge is used by Greater Anglia trains heading in and out of Chelmsford.
