Truck Fire M6 J2-1 19/05

Did anyone else see the car transporter on fire on the M6 South between Cov and Rugby yesterday? Twas a DAF CF and it was completely gutted. Luckily it only had two cars on and I don’t think they were damaged. I was almost at the front of the queue of traffic so handy for when the road reopened! Hoping the driver got out ok.

I came past it just after it was put out just glad I was going North

do you know who it belonged to by any chance,or what colour it was?

Fraid not mr Buck. It was completely ablaze by time I saw it. It wasn’t a drawbar outfit, just a tractor with car transporter trailer. It had a couple of oldish cars on it.

Just hope everyone was ok after all a car / truck can be replaced …

Heres the one that went up last night on the M2, one of ours, Vehicle Movements.

Upshot is, driver ok and 7 limited edition Subarus and one truck totalled.

And here is a video of the fire.

here is a question if your truck caught fire would you pull the pin(maybe saving either trailer or unit) or just runaway in the opposite direction :laughing:

Pull the pin if I could or in the above case run away as its a drawbar. :smiley:
