I was stuck going north bound, the van is 90 degrees across the carriageway.

I am now stuck before jct 20, been at a standstill for 15 mins. 5 police cars just gone down the hard shoulder.

Unfortunately it`s a fatal. Not suprised, saw the impact in my mirrors. Not something I will forget in a hurry.
