AlexM Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 I think more than anything that says 'look after your vehicle & tyres', since I'd imagine a tyre gave out there. It takes 5 minutes to check your tyres every day, do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewOW Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 Some very stupid comments on that too. Tragic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoboblio Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 Very scary how the lorry just plows through the central reservation like it's not there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benkei Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 How strong is that central reservation? Surely they're designed to stop traffic passing over, although I know a lorry has a lot more force than a car, but shouldn't that be taken into concideration when building them? Was it a blow out on the lorry then? I can't speak Italian! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plus1 Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 That was very scary, the way they just exploded into flames so quickly. Feel really sorry for all involved. Did the driver fall asleep? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Beast Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 that is truly scary, by the looks of that at least it can be said I doubt very much the people in the front car knew very little about what happened, not good though. richie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havard Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Christ...!! That is frightening. You have absolutely no chance if a vehicle crosser the CR..... H. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imi Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Seems like either the tyre exploded or the lorry driver fell asleep on the wheel........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Walker Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Blowout and the driver panicked. The central reservation didn't do anything, poor sods. The lorry was seriously damaged after going over the central reservation though but the car in the outside lane of the other carraigeway had no where to go - tragic. Gaz.

Andy-No-Knee Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Central reservations and the metal barriers are designed for glancing blows, that was almost a head on hit and the truck just drove right over it. A car would have been thrown back into its own side. Very little can stop 30 odd tonnes at 80kph. It took the central, 2 cars and another truck and the side barrier to stop it.
