A419 blocked between Stroud and Chalford

I’m loading at Aston Down business park and the loader has just told me if I was going back to the M5 after loading to go to Cirencester way as a foreign truck has tried doing a U-turn in the lay by where the kebab van is and ripped his air lines off blocking the whole road.
So just an heads up for anyone going that way.

That’s unlucky, I would have thought it was doable if needed. Lucky for me I’m off to the M5 now but live in Stroud so not effected.

Into the Highwayman cafe for coffee then.

Why not use the shunt button to move it out of the way?

He will have lost all the air in trailor tanks

Depends where he’s ripped the lines .
If it’s right down to the units bit of 1/2 branch wedged in would do.
If the trailer end bend airline and clamp with anything ,
Worse thing not all trailers have a useable. Shunt button.

Bloody lucky, I drove past him just as he started to pull out. I was going to flash him out but decided not to.
Right choice it seems!

Just think of all the stopped vehicles he could’ve waved his delivery notes at.

I did not know Dozy was driving for a foreign firm .
