Another tanker crash tonight (M4 Cardiff)

Well we nearly managed a week without one on the Motorways :neutral_face:

Serious accident involving tanker, van and several cars closes M4 dailym.ai/1l4mezI

I was lucky as I was on that section at 4:20 ish tonight [emoji33]

Me too; must just have missed it as I left Newport about 16.30.

Visibility wasn’t too bad when I passed that area but the forecast was for it to worsen.

Visibility was OK in Cardiff even at 18:45 so I reckon van or car driver driving like a ■■■■ !

I’m up and down that bit of road at least twice a week, and despite the fact that the road layout’s been the same for as long as I can remember, it still catches drivers out approaching Coryton. Biggest problem is drivers cutting in at the last moment to jump the queue as we both well know.

Looks like a milk tanker to me. That wouldn’t be fun if he was forced to swerve.

If it was they haven’t found them yet, although the driver of the tanker was arrested.

Crane driver died if that means anything to you.

Just said on the news that a man has died after his crane collided with a tanker on the M4 near Cardiff. A woman driver has also died after the tanker collided with her. The tanker driver has been arrested

According to the bbc the womam has been released from hospital.

Definitely a Wincanton tanker. What an awful sight :frowning:
