Police were deployed to track down the lorry, which was found in the Scottow Enterprise Park.
The driver was interviewed at the roadside, and an officer submitted a Traffic Offence Report for failing to stop at the scene and careless driving.
Despite the tight corners and narrow roads, Coltishall is increasingly becoming a bottleneck for huge volumes of traffic travelling between Norwich and a large area of north Norfolk.
Two years ago, a different lorry ploughed into the same wall, causing major delays in the area.
In the morning rush hour, the road is largely used by people travelling towards Norwich for work, but there is no let up throughout the day, with farm vehicles and HGVs frequent users.
Queues of lorries crossing the bridge in both directions can bring traffic to a standstill.
Larger vehicles often have to mount pavements to make it around tight corners.
