I’m not about to bang on endlessly about road safety, but when you come across a scene as horrific as this, the reality of being caught up in something really nasty hits home. It was an otherwise uneventful Monday morning when the traffic ground to a complete standstill on the M180’s eastbound section. Minutes later I hear the whirling blades of the Yorkshire Air Ambulance. Half a mile or so ahead, on the westbound side, lay total carnage. I wondered the fate of the black Ford Ka driver, embedded under the truck in lane one, or the truck driver over itself on top of it - as the momentum of the trailer has almost completely ripped the cab off it’s mountings. Grim stuff indeed. It may be ever so slightly hypocritical for me to point this out, but clearly visible in the centre of the image is a TV camera man, no doubt filming yet another 'fly on the wall' documentary.
