and a good photo of it taken by my old army mate 
So Glen Pearson the local chippy owner has now become an officianado on trucks, by saying that it has jacknifed.
Stick to salt and vinegar, you muppet, because from where I’m standing it seems that the vehicle is perfectly ok to me, and as the Police have said it has BROKEN DOWN.
Having been up and down that bank myself on numerous occasions in an artic, it certainly is an interesting piece of road.
Ken.
I once went down and back up there in an old MAN 42ft rigid to deliver 6 boxes of ice cream to a kiosk at the bottom, took 2 to 3 shunts on the tight bends!
“The vehicle seems to be a large articulated lorry which has jack-knifed.”

seems the reporter doesn’t know a rigid from an artic or what a jacknive is.best he/she goes to a local transport firm and asks before they write about something they obviously know nothing about.
If I’m ever unfortunate enough to suffer a jack knife I pray to God it looks like that one.
i’m putting my money on the red air line getting hung up and snapping,lost air and become stuck.

Everything to do with an artic is a jack-knife dont ya know 
The lorry has just blew out it arse on that hill, id put money on the clutch.
Its bad enough with buses taking up the road, crawling up and breaking down… let alone a 70ft lorry…
These shouldn’t be allowed on the bank…
70ft 
■■? Just add juggernaut to your sentence and be done with it.
Peach of a place to breakdown though, couldn’t have done it better myself 
looking at google maps there’s nowt down there apart from a few cobble boats,a car park and an ice cream kiosk,i bet he had another 3 boxes of ice cream for that place at the bottom.
failing that if you look closely you can see the sat nav which may of screwed him and took him the worst way from his last delivery.

my mate was the photographer (not the journalist) thats exactly what happened 
Someone I know may have once taken the wrong route from Skinningrove steel works with a 50’ and met the bank- the bank won, the truck got back to the yard then spent a good few days gettting the gearbox rebuilt- bloody hated Sed Atki 411’s any way got a nice 1635 Merc while it was being repaired

No a Sainsbury driver who came though town but instead of turning left at top of hill to the store turned right went down the hill turned round but could not get back up I the rain.
let’s face it we’ve all ballsed up and gone somewhere we should’nt of,i’ve just been lucky over the years,hope it does’nt run out. 
Thats not a Sainsburys truck, Sainsburys drivers have used this route though coming from Skelton myself included although I think I would give it a miss in rain. Youtube saltburn bank snow for a bus driver showing the cars how its done
