The HGV was pictured balanced awkwardly half in the water and half on the walkway of the floating harbour in Bristol. Witnesses said it appears to have somehow reversed through the barriers and was left teetering on the edge at around 7am on Thursday.

Luckily nobody was hurt and nearby boats were evacuated. 

The HGV driver is reportedly ‘shaken up but not injured’ according to police.

Filming for season two was taking place in the area and production staff have now confirmed the vehicle was full of costumes.

A production spokesperson said: “An accident occurred involving one of our production vehicles.

“No one was hurt or in the vehicle. We are investigating what happened and working on removing the vehicle as quickly and safely as possible.”

The incident happened next to the Revolucion de Cuba bar and in sight of Pero’s Bridge.

Avon Fire and Rescue sent three fire engines to the scene to assist with the incident. Recovery of the vehicle was launched with a large salvage truck arriving to remove it from the water via crane and winch.

“The lorry is now secure and firefighters remain on scene to assist the recovery company in removing the vehicle.”
