Surprised motorists were caught off guard in Essex after realising an obstruction ahead was not caused by another vehicle, but a large yacht wedged underneath railway arches in Chelmsford city centre.
The bizarre incident, which forced motorists into a single lane while approaching the Essex city centre, was caught on camera by a passing driver on Saturday morning.
Traffic was seen building up towards Victoria Road South and the High Chelmer Car Park due to the obstruction.
Workers wearing high-vis clothing stood at the rear of the vessel attempting to help the driver of the low-loader navigate through the archway, Essex Live reports.
A sign on the back of the low-loader reading 'Bred Last', meaning 'Wide Load', is commonly used on transportation vehicles across Scandinavia.
