THIS is the moment a lorry almost toppled over on the seafront.

Video and pictures show how the truck's wheels got firmly wedged in the beach pebbles on its left side, causing it to get stuck.

The vehicle got into a tight spot yesterday at about 11am near the West Pier on Brighton seafront.

A passer-by said: "I was just grabbing a coffee when I turned around and saw it like that.

"I'm guessing it had been delivering to one of the cafes down there.

"I think lifeguards were there quickly to put up a ‘danger’ sign."

Brighton and Hove City Council were contacted for comment.
