Lorry driver dies in M6 collision

[Vaux-Man-G]

This is one crazy accident.

Poor lorry driver from overseas has lost his life.

Heard this morning that the M6 has been closed all night! Has only opened a short while ago.

I went past this morning at about 630 as the trailer was being hauled off the motorway. All 6 tyres were blown, & a good 7 ft of trailer was crushed

the cab of the unit that hit it was totally gone, it had hit very hard.

Felt very sorry for whoever was in there.
