Video shows lorry pushing trapped car along motorway | UK news | guardian.co.uk

A haulage firm today began an investigation after a video emerged that appears to show a lorry driver speeding along a motorway unaware that a car was trapped under its bumper.

The mobile phone footage shows an Arclid Transport lorry travelling in the fast lane on the A1(M) near Wetherby, West Yorkshire, with a blue Renault Clio trapped sideways under its bumper.

The footage, believed to have been filmed in January by passengers in a vehicle on the same road, showed the driver of the Clio - who has not so far been identified - appearing to try to release the car by pressing the brakes.



Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.

A friend sent me a link to this earlier -  what is amazing is not only the event itself, but that this only got into the news two months later and it's not clear who was involved.

Maybe it's because I'm a Londoner - that I moved to Nice.
