Buckle up! Mystery as road is ripped up and twisted by 'unexplained underground movements' - as drivers continue to use it despite millions of pounds of damage
A ripped up road could cost millions to repair after mysterious underground movements left it so warped it looks like it had been hit by an earthquake. A section of the B4069 near Lyneham in Wiltshire has been so badly damaged the tarmac has completely snapped or is at a 45 degree angle. Wiltshire Council say the road has been closed since February 17 - but some drivers are still trying to use it according to police. The earthquake-like damage has been caused by unexplained underground movements which will now be investigated. Local residents claim the subsidence has been getting worse over the last year and a landslip was inevitable.
