A VAN driver was stopped last night after police spotted the load he was carrying was seriously overweight.
The van was stopped in Bradford by PC Claire Gray and taken to a local weigh bridge - for seeing the weight of a vehicle - and the van was found to by 1,500lbs, or 680kg, overweight.
PC Gray said the driver was reported for the offence, and a suitable vehicle to carry the heavy load had to be brought to continue the journey.
