The lorry ended up on the track of the old railway after plunging down the embankment.
THIS was the dramatic scene after an HGV ploughed through a wall in Shaw.
The lorry careered down an embankment at Jubilee Bend at 6.10am today and on to the former railway line which is being converted to Metrolink. The driver was arrested and remains in police custody for questioning. Motorists faced rush-hour chaos and Milnrow Road was expected to be closed for most of the day.
