A Truck Driver died on the M6 today (28 NOV 12) after the
lorry he was driving crashed into a ditch.

Emergency services were called to the southbound carriageway
between junction 12 and 13, at around midday.

An air ambulance landed on the carriageway but despite attempts
to save the man, he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Did you not see the (red I think) van Stuffed 1/2 way up the banking in the trees under the bridge, it was a long way up :confused:
