Images of the crash show a motorboat on a trailer having smashed into the rear window of a Subaru SUV.

Another car close behind the trailer appears stationary in the photos and also seems to be involved in the crash.

Police said at 1.45pm a tow truck was on the way to clear the damaged vehicles from the bridge.
