One very lucky and several very unlucky people...

Nasty one that.

And that poor van driver so nearly caught it.

The saddest part is the brake lights on a car just before it became
a kit. You can see exactly what was in the driver's mind, and it
ain't good.

***, I hadn't even noticed the car.

Just rewatched, and bloody hell.

As Schrodinger posted, its just so damn random. And it looks like
something like a tire blew on the lorry and caused it to swerve. So
in the end there nothing any one could do to prevent it happening
again.

Lorries could have solid rubber tyres and proper suspension.


Good point - why don't they have run flats by law on all critical tyres?
Sure it would cost a bit at first, but when you consider how much Europe
spends on dumb ***, surely that isn't too much to ask?
