A truck driver on his first trip to Whanganui caused major delays after getting stuck on the Dublin Street bridge while delivering large water tanks.
The driver was following a pilot vehicle to the delivery location and didn't realise he wouldn't fit over the bridge until it was too late.

Constable Ian Deane from Whanganui police's commerical vehicle safety team was on the scene.
"He's a little bit big to get under," he said.
