Once again parts of #OrwellBridge in #Ipswich #Suffolk closed due to rush hour #collision (#car vs #lorry) with one #fatality and one #arrest
if its not possible to quickly reduce #CarDependency (and realistically it is not), nor build the #NorthernBypass - then there's a real need to further encourage #FlexibleWorking and more people to move away from 9-5 working hours - all these crashes seem to happen around rush hour, whereas same #A14 highway is a lot quieter in afternoons and evenings (there's still lorries, but they are more spread out and not so many bottlenecks at the junctions)

Multiple bottles of #prosecco yeeted into live lanes of #M4 #motorway and a container knocked from a #lorry following a #collision - one lorry #driver #arrested on suspicion of using a #mobilePhone at the wheel. There were only minor injuries, but the clean up will take a good few hours!

Good work by #lorry driver - keeping occupants of small car that has broken down on "smart" #motorway safe and calling nines so #Police and #NationalHighways are aware - it took 5 mins on 999 call, and 13 further minutes for National Highways to arrive on scene, and #drivers are barely noticing stationary lorry (further ahead the matrix sign is showing "national speed limit", which suggests there has already been a restriction on previous signs so drivers are likely trying to accelerate to get back to 70mph (112 km/h)
These smart #motorways are not safe (thankfully there are no further ones being built)

@tompearce49 Chapeau!There are some great hgv drivers out there. I think the #log #lorry drivers are the best - they get a lot of flack, but the best of them can do as you describe, but in the forest, on narrow, steep, tight geometry, very few passing places, unmade up roads, often riddled with potholes. No roadsigns and often only poor mapping. Tramping (overnighting in the cab) is often required. It's amazing our #timber gets to the mills sometimes!

CW: M25 collision, Court Case + sentence
An #Ipswich #lorry driver got 3 years jail + 3 years #driving
ban after lack of attention led to multi vehicle #collision with fatalities and serious injuries (the relatively short sentence is due to an early guilty plea).He was not on drugs/drink or using a mobile phone, but if driving to South Mimms should have been aware that traffic on #M25 is often slow around that area due to #congestion and reduced his speed..#RoadSafety
