looks like the wind is causing carnage on the roads in yorkshire, i was heading east on the M62 in slow traffic, came across a artic on its side on the westbound side just past junc 31, front of the cab didnt look that damaged, hope the driver got out ok, trailer and unit were not liveried up so dont know what company it was, unit was a iveco stralis and trailer was white with blue curtains.
also just a few miles down the road from the above incident was an overturned artic on the A1M, i only heard this on the radio so no info
Hope they were alright, I had a nasty moment on the M40 today aswell, thought I was going over couldn’t pull the curtains back either as I had two poxy pallets on the headboard and couldnt get them wet
wagon and trailer over on its side right across a1 by barnsdale bar.nobody can pass till its moved.traffic backed up for miles right up to bp station where there was a 4 wheeler over.there will be a lot of late teas tonite!!
Hope all of the unfortunate drivers are ok. I had a chuckle ( at some1 elses expense…) and I know i should not have done so, but saw an Iveco Daily with a Curtainside body not only on its side but in a field. There was a young lad with the police. He seemed ok, but you have to ask - where is the logic in assembling such combinations?

No logic at all.
“young lad with the police” . . .whatever next ?
a64 is clear, was clear when i went past at half6, but was people on scene they was loads a marks over the road, looks like it went over, then slid down the road the roads to whitby are closed to high siders, and its still giving it a good lashing round boro now i heard it was blowing vans over on the a66 lastnite and this morning
if you think it’s too bloody windy and dangerous i pull up and park up.
ok the load gets delivered late. but no one gets killed or injured and {fb} the boss.
and why do empty curtainsiders keep their curtains closed.
the a64 was closed between the shell roundabout at staxton and morrisons just outside scarborough, it was 1 of our trucks that went over, and hit a car in the process, the driver was pulled out ok, but damaged his shoulder, and the driver of the car was taken to hospital, it happened about 1600 last night
