    Driver of this LEFT HAND DRIVE car was taken to hospital with non life threatening injuries, the passenger & lorry driver had minor injuries!
    Very, very lucky or what?

    I was at an accident yesterday on my own patch. A ESB lorry overturned on a lane on top of a pickup. . The bloke in the pickup laid over the passenger seat before the lorry landed on him . He managed to get out with just bruising. Very lucky man .
    Will post a pic when I get to the office.
    The lorry was top heavy with wooden poles

    Lucky man, a bike rider would have not been so lucky. I hope the truck driver gets his just rewards for driving with a dangerous load....

    He was very lucky!
    About '89 I was going from Peterborough to Hamilton with a 7.5 Merc when nearing Cumbria on the M6 the traffic started to slow suddenly but kept going, a bit further up a 38t Boalloy trailer on the nearside lane containing a full load of road chippings for the road repairs a bit further up had toppled over onto a car in the middle lane, the car was completely flat and hardly visable, no was getting out of that!
    It had only just happened, probably a few hundred yards up the road, just goes to show you never know when ya times up!
