Once again armchair investigations lead to bickering. Well done. Another life lost, may they rest in peace,one badly injured, may they make a full recovery and cope with the trauma, and to the 3 truck drivers and any other witnesses,may you make a return to the road very soon. As for the Columbo / Dumbo wannabes, just concern yr self with taking care and not becoming a statistic. Good morning.

One person died at the scene and at least one other has sustained serious injuries.
'Firstly condolences to family and friends of the person not going home and hope the other parties pull through.

The following comment is not based on the events that occurred earlier but simply my opinion.
From what i remember from the last couple of weeks then it isnt the first time its been shut due to accident. I think we are up to three? I know there was a truck on truck (parked in a shallow layby last week)
For those that travel the 14 regularly then you know that at several points you will meet the caption slow brothers. Those drivers that are limited and/or dragging the job out and suddenly we have an “elephant race” (I think that was the terminology that was used). Car drivers get held up and SOME can be annoyed by this. When the trucks do manage to get past then the cars are off like the proverbial off of a shovel.
Would 3 lanes help? Possibly. At least that way we dont end up with a no overtaking zone like towards Catthorpe (I cant seem to remember many accidents within this section, though they probably have occurred.
The one thing I would like to see is more deepset laybys. Those that have some kind of barrier between you and the road.

Reads the above comment and contemplates a smart intelligent response
