Lorry drives off after demolishing Poundbury pillars

TWO large stone columns outside a building in Poundbury were demolished when a lorry collided with them in a fail to stop collision on Wednesday morning.

The vehicle, believed to be a skip lorry, struck the heavy pillars outside Poundbury Clinic on Middlemarsh Street at about 7.10am.
