the big un:

washy jnr:
One of our lads was heading the other way as the wagon went over,he has reported seeing the bulker swaying across the road and thick smoke from the tyres.If you look at the picture,it’s gone over just before the slip road to Syresham village and speaking as someone who travels that road daily,the amount of times some muppet has cut from lane 2 up the slip road infront of me is plenty…
Made for an interesting afternoon as we were clearing a farm at Silverstone,so we had to run the back lanes via Helmdom,Wappenham and Abthorpe which are tight enough without a stream of lost 44 tonners coming towards you :open_mouth:

Washy remember my green and yellow Daf same company !!

I did wonder if it was one of their’s :confused:
