Police investigating lorry push footage

Dramatic footage of a motorway crash has emerged on YouTube.

The footage shows a lorry travelling along the A1(M) in Yorkshire with the Clio trapped in front. 

Check out the shocking video here

The incident occurred in January and the haulage company responsible for the truck confirmed that no action had been taken against the driver after the police’s first investigation.

Police say there were no injuries and both vehicles were on the hard shoulder by the time they arrived, so the incident was treated as a “damage-only collision”.

However, since seeing the footage the police and the haulage company are now re-investigating the collision.

Celebrity role models???

It seems like some celebrities are forgetting the rules of the road. Here’s a few examples of what NOT to do…

Vernon Kay, the Family Fortunes host recently took a bizarre shortcut to his Buckinghamshire mansion. He halted a taxi on the hard shoulder of the busy M40 before leaping a barrier to walk through bushes and woods. I think Mr Kay forgot that you should only stop on the hard shoulder in emergencies and he definitely gets zero points from us on this one.

Welsh rugby star Andy Powell was arrested after taking a golf buggy from the hotel where he and his team-mates were staying and driving it towards a motorway after a few too many beverages.  These after hour antics have not only resulted in his prompt suspension from the Welsh squad but have also landed him a drink drive charge. Andy Powell please make your way to the sin-bin.

Footballer Ashley Cole recently claimed he was being chased by paparazzi when police caught him driving at more than 100mph in a 50mph zone. Mr Cole has now been banned from driving for 4 months and has to pay a fine. After this performance he should definitely be put on the bench.

In summary it is good to have role models but this is not the behaviour that anyone should be following!
