Girls killed in M25 crash horror
by LAURA SMITH and HUGH MUIR, Evening Standard
Two young sisters were killed today when they were thrown from a car in a horrific crash which closed the M25.
The girls, thought to be aged six and 10, were hurled up to 20 feet from the car as it overturned at high speed and spun onto the embankment. A man in his mid-to-late-twenties who was in the back seat was also killed. He had to be cut from the wreckage.
The driver is being treated in hospital after the accident w hich happened on the clockwise section of the orbital motorway, between Potters Bar and Enfield, atabout 3am.
Traffic police closed a nine-mile stretch of the clockwise carriageway of the M25 between junctions 23 and 25 in Hertfordshire.
They said the section was likely to be closed until at least mid-morning while investigations into the cause of the accident continued.
An ambulance service spokesman said: “The girls died instantly. It was a terrible sight. The car was completely w recked. The driver was in complete shock. At this stage,it is unclear what caused the car to crash, but no other vehicle was involved.”
After overturning, the car spun off the carriageway and up an embankment. It rolled over several times before coming to rest 20 feet up the embankment on the hard shoulder.
Roadside workers raised the alarm and helped police and fire officers in the rescue effort.
The ambulance spokesman for Bedfordshire ambulance service praised five workmen who raised the alarm and helped in the rescue effort.
“They had been on duty on major roadworks nearby and were there when the ambulance arrived,” he said. “They were absolutely excellent…”

Another truck may not have stopped in time - totally innocent but still in the dung.

I would of rammed the git!
Yes I saw it this afternoon when I was going t’other way. Scania unit with George trailer.
It had rear ended a grain trailer, possibly a Heygate Flour one. The cab looked to have been shunted against the trailer, they’d got a large sling around it pulling it forwards presumably so they could separate the trailer or recover it and allow it to bend. I would have thought that your early reports are probably on the money but wouldn’t be surprised if there was a bit more injury too.
Not very nice.

Maybe on the phone or something.?
Bloomin shocking any way you look at it. Stopping like that ■■■■■■ me off as well as it will usually mean me having to fish all sorts of stuff off the dash table out from in front of the windscreen.
Actually guessing he’s probably lost as after looking at it again it looks like the road he just turned down has got a weight limit.
I passed it going the other way shortly after it happened, the chap driving it was still visible in the cab and the emergency services had only just turned up, that was at 0905-10 thereabouts…

Stupid thing is the fleetboard won’t register anything amiss for the ASDA drive - but a “harsh brake” for yours truly alas…
Life ain’t fair.

Well, at least he had video evidence to support the harsh brake application - another plus for cams, me thinks.
