Saturday 1st October, approx 19.40hrs, sth on A26 1000 mtrs past Jctn 22, overturned Spanish reg Stralis
, blocked both lanes sth & hard shoulder, also northbound 2 lanes… I sat for about 2 hrs, & after all cars & vans got turned around, decided if i reverse clear of crash barrier, i could then spin it around, I did, drove up to junction 22, it was closed off to sthbound traffic, so it was ok, even all the emergencey motors buggered off, except the cross copper who went off on one as he expected all the trucks to sit there for at least 6 hrs… Yeah right…
anyway he relented and I got around the cones, I was only going to Troyes for the night anyway, but a mate of mine sat there for another 2 hrs when he called me to say the copper was now going to get all the trucks to reverse back, in his case almost a kilometer.
here are a couple of pics, the road was very slippery, and he came to rest 20ft from the bridge, he was ok, just full underwear, i28.photobucket.com/albums/c239/ … G_0582.jpg
