Had this from someone earlier…
Someone on the Mail Online has said a car come straight off the hard shoulder without building any speed up too. If that’s the case then what an absolute prick 
no doubt they’d have drive into the distance oblivious to the carnage and tragedy they have caused.
R.I.P Drive. That was a bad crash. 
Awful scenes.
To think it’s just one persons actions can cause all this carnage
Evening All,
I got cought in the tail back this morning 
not good … like someone said awful pictures and a shame it’s happen.
Think the M25 might bit shut for sometime 
Thank god I’m going no where near the M25 tomorrow.
R.I.P drive another nasty one.
I dont think once an artic has got loose they can install barriers that will stop one unfortunately.
The need to find that goon who pulled on them.
Says on Twitter that 2 men aged 33 and 25 have been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving they are still in hospital.

Please tell me this wasn’t supposed to be one of those “crash for cash” things…

She must have seen the skip lorry in her mirror and had the sense to lay flat across the passenger seat. I hope she is well enough to be home for Christmas.

And it’s us lorry drivers that have to do the CPC course■■?
Maybe it’s time every driver has to do additional compulsory training.

Just done a little research and discovered that according to the Department of Transport and the Office of National Statistics, just over 20% of all motor vehicle journeys undertaken in the UK are on a Motorway.
However when learning to drive, drivers are not tested on Motorways, in fact it is an optional top-up course.
So as Norfolktrucker has pointed out, maybe more development should be taken at the learner stage of driving, in order to avoid these sad tragedies later in life.
With me TNUK CSI hat on ( 
), it seems obvious that the A120 skip driver or the woman he hit were up the chuff of that De Rijke wagon. No idea how she survived that!
I really hope the guy who pulled out onto the carriageway on the M25 gets caught 
it says in Leicester mercury that the deceased was the car driver
ajt:
To escape from this with no life threatening injuries is quite amazing
Thats bad!
If I’m reading it all right and car driver has died ( according too leicester paper) ,all the trucks involved took avoiding action ,who has been arrested ,or was the car driver who reporteley died not the driver of the car that came off hard shoulder 
It must be human nature to attempt to swerve out of the way of a vehicle. In that situation, would it be best to hit the breaks and keep it straight?

Its one of those situations where you wouldn’t know what you’d do until it happens. I’d like to think I’d keep it straight but as you say, instinct and self preservation kick in and you try and avoid.
