An accident on the A63 is causing delays this afternoon (Wednesday) after a lorry shed its load of steel.
The lorry has spilled its load on the westbound carriageway at the Daltry Street flyover, blocking the road to vehicles heading out of Hull. Emergency services are at the scene.
A diversion is taking motorists via the slip road to Daltry Street and the entry slip back on to the A63. However, traffic is queueing. Motorists are advised to avoid the route if possible.
Suprised the coppers let the driver reload his vehicle with the crane, since he couldn’t even carry out a simple task like drive a truck round a little bend!!

I think people on here assume it’s easy to end up talking to the TC. I had a pretty monumental accident and never had a ‘chat’.
It depends what you mean by monumental accident, whether it was caused by something that was an operator licencing issue, or just a driving issue.
I’ve known of two companies who have basically been shut down by Joan Aitken for multiple insecure loads, although one of them killed an innocent road user.
I never did hear if anything came of this one, though:

Got stuck there on Thurs after they shut everything in the area for someone having a cig on the Humber Bridge and the A63 runs under it (no where near the smoker).

Recent article in commercial motor featured a company that had 4 PG9s issued for load securing issues over a 2 year period. The TC called that ‘persistently failing’ and cut the O licence for 3 months as well as warning all drivers they face licence suspension if it happens again.
If 4 times in two years is persistent, then half the loads I see on the roads would mean a lot of O licences revoked
