does anyone know what happened this morning i was going northbound about 5.15 but their was another truck overtaking me so i did’nt see much apart from a jacknifed truck up the embankment.
one fatality
I passed it about 08.15. Truck was jack-knifed across h/s and lanes 1& 2,camper van was stuck under rear of the trailer.Didn’t see a car,maybe it had already been moved.
I was heading north bound when all the cop cars were heading towards it. I seen a Corsa with the roof off but didnt catch too much of the other stuff.
I got on the M6 j15 s/b at 02.30 and saw an ambulance going n/b just as I got on.Between then and junction 8 at Brum,saw 6 police cars going n/b with the blues on.Thought then it must be something serious!
