:open_mouth: :open_mouth: :open_mouth:

was she not looking when she came down the sliproad ?

typical renault clio drivers :wink:

been done before. maybe the same woman ? :smiley:

Very lucky lady!!

Well Boss… I’m gonna be a bit late cos there’s a car under my trailer. :open_mouth:

No doubt the truck driver got the blame for it?!?!

Won’t need his little yellow chocks at the rdc with that there

As Rob_K wouldn’t say, not NTSA, as this is a different Clio-driving woman who got stuck under the trailer (how?), i.e. not the notorious Arclid pushing a car up the A1 incident.

Shocking!

Who the hell

is still using flat trailers? :laughing:

Wheel Nut:
Shocking!

arent most trailers flat? dont know how they would stack pallets on a star shaped trailer

judging by the position of the wheel arch, it does look like the truck ran over her car although that may not necessarily lay the blame with the driver. she is a car driver and therefore highly likely to do something stupid, dangerous and completely senseless

Wasnt it a woman driver who parked in front of that Arclid lorry?

Yes, and this one was too, and don’t forget that Nurse who walked through that spilled acid on the M6 :wink:

M6 driver’s ‘miraculous’ lorry escape
Ambulance staff said the woman had a “miraculous escape” to come away with minor scratches
A woman escaped with minor scratches after the car she was driving became wedged under a lorry and was dragged a distance down a motorway.

A car and a lorry collided on the M6 in Staffordshire between junctions 15 and 16 at about 11:45 BST on Friday.

Emergency crews found a car stuck under the lorry’s trailer and said it may have travelled a “few hundred yards” like that before the vehicles stopped.

West Midlands Ambulance crews said the car driver had a “miraculous escape”.

A spokesman for the service said: "The woman driving the car, believed to be in her 20s, had a very fortunate escape and suffered only minor scratch wounds.

"Considering the damage to the vehicle and the circumstances of the crash, the woman is extremely fortunate not to have suffered more serious injuries.

“A very miraculous escape.”

The lorry driver was not injured in the incident.

I’ve merged the two topics. :wink:

It looks like the mudguard stopped the wheel rolling over the car. It was a miracle that the trucker survived.

Wheel Nut:
Shocking!

Swains of Stretton?? they are green(in colour) and use flats on wire and re-bar. :wink:

swain’s of rochester, kent.

m.a.n rules:
swain’s of rochester, kent.

If that’s R Swains, they’ve still got a depot up here too, or at least they did have.

I did a bit of work for them on agency a few years ago, but all curtain side work, but they do a LOT of flat work as you said, in green, also doing containers these days down Rochester too - out of Thamesport.

we’ve got nowt but flat trailers, near on 40 of em, …but ours are red :laughing:
