Very sad What a strange time for it to happen

 

Yeah maybe someone fell asleep. Most likely the lorry driver I guess

or perhaps a blow out?

I read another article and they were not actually in the minibus, instead they were in a tow truck that was towing the minibus.

 

Blimey

Does seem strange, as it is unlikely that the roads would have been busy.

possible fall asleep stuff

 

but then they are now saying it might not have been being towed and was parked up on hard shoulder with the recovery truck and the lorry drove into them.. Either way not very pleasant.

 

I'll put money on the fact that the bankholiday muppets actually caused it. Driving cars that are barely roadworthy or that they haven't driven for long distances for 12 months is a recipe for disaster.

 

It is indeed sad .... but not actually that strange a time for it to happen - the worst ones I have been to have always been at night or in the early hours when the roads are empty.

 

 

Now closed J22-23 clockwise for an overturned car. One lane closed J26-J27 because of an accident...
