Police officers were left shocked after they stopped a lorry carrying over a dangerous 50 metre load on the M4. The vehicle was pulled over by Gwent Police and the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency on October 14 near Monmouthshire as it transported a gigantic lengthy load which hung a substantially long distance off the end of the truck.

The force had been performing an inappropriate load operation at the Pilning Interchange off Junction 22 when they came across the 'flat bed' lorry and pulled over the driver to inspect the vehicle, Wales Online reports.
