60MPH sideways down the Motorway being pushed by a bulk tanker.

Video: Truck driver caught on film with car stuck to bumper at 60mph - Telegraph

Well, it *looks* convincing, and is currently "status true"!

You're right.

Looks convincing.

Wonder how they did that.

I guess it really did happen !

"Vet relives horror lorry shunt !" Press Association report :-

Vet relives horror lorry shunt - Yahoo! News UK

I wonder if there is any cctv footage of her actually joining the motorway, that would definitely be very interesting to see ! Somebody wasn't paying attention !

Also in The Daily Telegraph:

Rona Williams: vet tells of miracle escape after lorry traps her car at 60mph - Telegraph

That is amazing.

I confess to being one of those who thought it to be an excellent fake.

How could the truck driver not notice?

I suppose the HGV travelling at 60 mph, the engine is running loudly. It surprises me that he didn't actually feel the impact when he caught the car and made it fishtail into his lorry and jam under his front bumper. Also it amazes me that the lorry driver did not hear the screaming of the car tyres as it was slid sideways at 60 mph !!!!!! Had the guy got his in-cab radio on that loud, or worse still, was he chatting on his mobile phone ffs ! Either way he should be done with a minimum of careless driving, and points on his licence. It will be interesting to see the cctv pics of where the car joined the A1(M), if of course there was a camera and there was film in the camera (or whatever they have these days). I do hope there is a follow-up concerning this incident.

On the other hand, Nicole would be messing her, oh so elegant, britches :wah:

Man, I don't find this too funny. Truck accidents are sort of a big deal in the mid-west. There are even lawyers who focus their whole practice on it. Pretty scary thought to me.
