Blimey! the Police and VOSA would love that over here, they could shut the road for a couple of months with all that mess.

Jeez, looks more like an air crash than a truck crash!

Driver of the JCB was lucky though, looks like he escaped unscathed! :smiley:

Bloody Hell. :open_mouth: :open_mouth:

I’m only guessing but maybe driving a conventional not cab over made all the difference between life or death in that case :question: . :bulb:

No wonder it’s such a mess - those Road Trains don’t hang about, so a head-on collision is bound to be an absolute horror. Amazed the drivers weren’t killed!

was it a 61 ft roadtrain !!!

Or maybe the accident wouldn’t have happened at all with a decent wagon. :wink:

I’ve seen this thing on the road in the metal, and it was ridiculous. It’s only allowed to operate on a small area of roads between two mines in the outback - a PROPER road train!

Used to talk to a lad there. Weight limits were(are?) 2 trailers 90 ton, 5 trailers 250 ton. :open_mouth:

A bit different to that Stobart wag n drag with “road train” written on it !

mack power :slight_smile:
