The M4 is 189.5 miles long [wikipedia] but unfortunatley the truck has come to grief in one of the worst possible places today.

Apparently no one was injured and no other vehicles involved, looks like a steel coil in the back, Man unit?

Hi Neil,
Looks a nasty job that,will be a while sorting that tunnel out.Did see it on the Welsh news.
Cheers Dave.

[mechanic77]

Apparently theres no truth in the rumour that it was caused by a ‘special device’ the unions had installed in the westbound tunnel years ago to safegaurd workers in the Abbey steelworks by stopping coil being moved into Wales. Export only.
