Man arrested in connection with 'runaway' lorry crash at Derry shopping centre

Police have arrested a man in connection with an incident in the Derry city centre two months ago when a lorry crashed into Foyleside Shopping Centre.

The articulated vehicle was being unloaded at around 4.45am on September 11 in Ferryquay Street when it rolled away and travelled along Linenhall Street and Newmarket Street before crashing into the wall at the shopping centre in Orchard Street (pictured).

Damage was caused to a parked car and a number of street signs and bollards during the incident.

At the time, police said they were keen to speak to three young males who were in the Ferryquay Street area around the time of the incident.

Tonight, they said they have arrested a 21-year-old man earlier today for criminal damage and motoring offences and that he was released on bail in order for police to carry further forensic enquiries.
