An investigation is under way and Norfolk Police are appealing for witnesses.
Not another, RIP drive… 
Another sad fatality… R.I.P.
That’s quite a few fellow drivers lost now recently.
Take note and also take a little extra time for your journeys all…
RIP Drive.
Would be interested to know the full story, truck looks a mess but not fataly.
I would say something medical is involved here for the Truck driver to die but not the car driver… And that Scania does not look badly damaged.
Still RIP Driver, and all the best to friends and family.

Doesn’t look too bad but to me it looks like it has been on its side so you can’t rule out something heavy in the cab hitting the driver.
RIP.

I actually drove past the scene of this accident several hours after it happened and they were repairing quite a long section of the Armco barrier… I’m guessing the truck fell on its side and the Armco pierced the cab. I may be wrong!
bloody hell, that mason bro’s wagon, based at boston, att dose causal work for them, so he might be able to shed some light on this.
rip to the driver.

That’s right. My brother put a Dodge on it’s side on a village green years ago, very little damage to him or the motor, but the jack, which lived strapped to a little platform on the back of the cab, wasn’t strapped and hit him on the head. Gave him a good lump, could have been much worse! It’s not always the spectacular crashes that kill you.
RIP the driver of the Mason’s motor.

No doubt the wagon driver will be blamed as he’s defenceless. RIP DRIVER.

Why do the police want to know the manner in which the lorry was being driven before the crash. I would hope they want to know the manner of all vehicles involved before the crash.
RIP DRIVER.
RIP to one of ours
I do work for Masons…And to be honest, it really brings it home how dangerous it can be out on those roads.
Be careful everybody.
RIP Driver.
Best wishes to family and friends.
