One of our drivers went past going south and even with the boards up he says you could see that the car transporter trailer is imbedded about 4 pallets deep into the Turners trailer. It may sound a bit sick but thankfully I’m guessing the driver wouldn’t have known anything of it and died stright away and not had to suffer burning to death in the resulting inferno. RIP drive.

Cars must have rammed into the transporter cab you’d think

My dad drives for them and cant get a hold of him and the depot is not saying much does anybody know what the unit was or used to be
Our driver that went past said there was nothing left of the transporter and it’s trailer and nothing left of the other truck apart from the back end of the trailer. Praying your dad is safe and sound Colin but surely Turners have a duty of care to let you know who’s truck was involved?

Not my dad hes fine and down the road hes on nights.I do know who the driver is.
A kid on Twitter has said that he went past at about 7am this morning and the car transporter was in lane one with its hazard lights on and he had to pull out to avoid it.

You can see for miles ahead of you on that stretch of the A1 so something horrible has happened to the turner’s driver at the wheel condolences with the family at a sad time.

There is also hard shoulder available on that stretch, so it begs the question as to why this car transporter wasn’t in it?
Surely no vehicle failure is so catastrophic that you cannot get onto the shoulder? Regardless of this it’s a terrible incident and it’s yet another driver not making it home RIP Drive.
