A semi-trailer was briefly jammed against a shop awning in Nanango this morning after trying to drive into Drayton Street via a side lane.
The refrigerated van struck the awning of Raine and Horne at 82 Drayton Street.
Nanango businesswoman Jane Erkens said it wasn’t the first time a truck had come unstuck trying to use Nanango’s back lanes.
She said the awning of her building, Nanango Real Estate, had been struck many times and the council flowerbeds in the centre of the street had also been damaged recently.
“These big trucks really shouldn’t be using the laneways,” she told southburnett.com.au this morning.
“My building has been quite damaged at times, and we’ve had to fix it on a number of occasions.”
A police spokesman said a street awning and a refrigerated trailer had been damaged in this morning’s incident.
Investigations were continuing.
