An Amazon lorry driver smashed over three metal bollards, a street name post, and a diverted traffic road sign on two residential roads.

The blue articulated HGV – with the online retail giant’s branding on the side – struggled to navigate around the narrow junctions.

It first knocked down one bollard and the road name post leaving them flattened on the pavement.

The sign was also left dangling over the road.

But it then collided with two more bollards on a neighboring road.

It also knocked down a yellow road sign.

It happened in Osborne Road and then Whelan Road, in Acton, west London yesterday (10 October).

A resident in a block of flats spotted the first prang.

They got out their mobile phone and were shocked to see the lorry driver do it again.

A spokesperson for the Litter Action Group for Ealing Residents said: “This was witnessed this morning by one of our members.

“We assume remedial actions are being taken.

“The driver must not have realized how unsuitable this road in Acton is for such a long vehicle.”

Locals also slammed the trucker for damaging the bollards and sign, as reported on Need To Know.

Anthony McDonald said: “Over reliant on sat navs.

“The amount of times I see large vehicles causing obstructions down unsuitably narrow roads is becoming a regular occurrence.”

Sharon Bewley added: “It seems as if the driver had no idea it was even happening.”

One – named Blake – said: “That’s three bollards and a post.”

Sean fumed: “C*ap driver.”

Steve added: “Imagine if that had been a cyclist instead of a bollard.”

Ciaran McGrath joked: “He’ll get his time bonus at least.”

But Sam King said: “This just to prove truck drivers, bus drivers, car drivers, we are human.”

Amazon has been approached for comment.
