Noting that the lorry driver suffered only minor injuries, I'm posting this here on The Lighter Side.

The lorry crashed into an industrial unit in Wingate Close on Wednesday
A lorry became wedged on a steep bank after it left the road and smashed through a fence at an industrial estate in Nottingham.
Nottinghamshire Police said it was called at 04:15 GMT on Wednesday after the lorry and its trailer left the road and crashed into an industrial unit in Wingate Close.
The driver, a man in his 60s, was freed from the wreckage and taken to hospital, where he is being treated for injuries not believed to be life-altering.
The lorry is now stuck between the industrial unit building and the slope leading up the damaged fence while police inquiries continue.

Pictures from the scene show the lorry getting stuck after going through the fence
Pictures of the scene show the rear end of the lorry's trailer bent upwards on a steep slope while the cab had gone through the fence and ended up near a warehouse building.
It is currently unclear what caused the vehicle to leave the road.
A police spokesperson added: "An investigation into what happened is ongoing."
