Where?? 
He’s very lucky he didn’t hit the trailer/advertising board!
Is that near shotts??
is the driver ok ?
what happened - did the driver have a blow out
If that’s a driver hire advert. It’ll look funny as [zb] with a smashed up truck next to it. 
Why would a blowout send him off the road? 
I’ve had my fair share over the years and all that happens is a bit of rumbling. It’s not like the films.
Roadworks….probably happily running the hard shoulder, gets a bit tight for some reason (car or truck in next lane wanders over the line a little); Stobbie moves left a little, wheel goes on the grass/dirt which pulls it to the left……
See they left the road open .One went down the M20 this morning and
road was shut for over 6 hours. Not stobarts.

Heard that the driver bounced the kerb and over corrected
Past that spot last night. there were 3 workmen with that flame thrower thing burning off the white lines. As I past the guy with the flamethrower lifted it up and pointed it at the side of me as I past, maybe this driver was avoiding the same idiot.

Perhaps he/she was a disgruntled former employee with an axe to grind, missed by a good bit though!
Still there. Won’t be removed till the early hours as they’ll need to shut the M8 as it’s slap bang in the middle of the road works and only the hardshoulder is in use.
I heard about this at around 5.30am, i thought he had lost it on the camber where you go over to the oncoming carriageway, didnt know he went ploughing a field.

Not a driver hire ad but just as funny… here’s the original!

The trailer is an advert for ACL van rentals.
