This baffling video shows a giant yellow crane stuck under a motorway bridge at a 45 degree angle. 

The crane had driven under a motorway bridge before its 80 metre tower made contact with the bridge on the M49 near Avonmouth, Bristol.

The force of the blow against the bridge forced the cab of the vehicle off the ground and its bungling driver was flung into the air. 

The cab of the crane is left dangling into the air after the driver seems to have forgotten to lower the boom and drives into a bridge on the M49 near Avonmouth
