The lane was a short-cut from the colliery to the main road, those drivers were on load bonus and used to go as fast as they could to earn more - just like the film “Helldrivers”.
Thanks. So they all ended in hell!

This was in Bakewell, I would guess in the mid sixties, lost his brakes coming down the long incline from Moyash into Bakewell.

Looks like one of Consolidated Land Services from Scunthorpe.There’s a weight limit on that Monyash - Bakewell road now,has been for years.

Portugal .The load shifted .The driver didn’t have a scratch! To be fair it wasn’t his fault.They loaded those bales each side of the trailer & left a gap down the middle.& Hey Presto! He was a accompanied by a Portuguese Customs muppet. When the truck fell over the muppet went thru the windscreen & rolled headfirst over & over across the field. Only damaged his silly hat…
One of my dads old maggies, he had VOT 689T and VOT 690T, both on STS from new, this one wrote off and the other came back onto UK work. Thats Ian Elkins sat there, walked away from this rollover
Is that a French sailor ?
