The red Scania looks like Warrens from Rugby.
Fingers crossed for the drivers involved.

On the tv you could see the green scania is from Cartwright Bros
Well from my angle it,looked that way but the,red scanny is a warrens gave me goose bumps only left them 2mounths.
Warrens Driver is ok he got air lifted to hospital. I dont know about the others or what happened obviously his phone is not on.
And incase anyone spouts off about warrens drivers he has to be the most careful driver i know and the nicest bloke you’ll ever meet.
Why’s it taken so long to clear up?
looking at the impact and where the vehicles ended up there was a possibilty that the warrens wagon might of been stopped before the impact. maybe broken down and the other guy just did realise
■■■■ me that’s a mess
Looks like the Warren’s motor was stopped and then Cartwright hit the right corner and pushed it into that position. I see the driving compartment on the Cartwright lorry is not crushed, so he may have got out ok, but I bet that the Warren’s driver has back/neck injuries, which would explain the airlift to hospital
Jeezus christ I hope both drivers are ok and that there was no passenger in the cartwright bros if it was one of theres. They are 2 miles from my house its a horrible crash. wish them both a speedy recovery.
Heared more this morning. The warrens truck pulled over and called for a ambulance allegedly complaining of a problem. Not long after he was struck from behind. He is still inn hospital that came from whoever called up to tell warrens that the driver was injured etc.
Theres been a few accidents/incidents around Berkshire/Oxon in the last few days, somebody ‘lost’ a 26t air-con unit on the M40 sb j9-8a a couple of days back, this one on the A34 (which was still closed when i came up at around midnight for repairs and hope both drivers turn out to be ok), and now this thamesvalley.police.uk/newse … ?id=224917 Thats where Verran Freight and a few others are based iirc…is Grove Garage on for them? Driving a truck for a living seems to be becoming more dangerous every day…more motors on the road,knob-head car drivers (not all of them), increased pressure to get the job done/park up etc etc etc. Is it only a matter of time before ‘they’ say that 56 is to fast and we will all be lining up behind the ‘Trolly Dollys’ at 50?

Agree, that will be the next move. The powers that be are obsessed with speed limits - cos it’s easy to fine folk that exceed them…
We’ll end up with a man with a red flag walking in front of us before we’re finished…
