Was 59 plate scania r420 with spanking new SDC trailer on it’s first run! The whole lot arrived back at Malcolm linwood yesterday seems the propshaft snapped and ripped the fuel tank or so I was told today. Had a look and the shaft is in bits rite enough so mite be true!
And where has it been for the past 9 months■■?
I seen the trailer on the back of a Malcolm flat trailer going along the M8 yesterday. Looks fit for the scrap yard. It was a right mess.

Don’t know but that’s what I heard first thing today that it was brand new headin up with a load of glass! 
Passed it northbound on the hard shoulder at 2am and the whole lot was blazing.
Couldn`t tell what type of trailer as the flames had engulfed the lot, the cab was blazing also so hope the driver is o/k.
Didn`t notice any other vehicles involved.
Passed southbound at 7:30, fair to say there was nothing left of either the unit or the trailer, except the chassis. According to the news reports the driver is OK.
