A lorry's onboard camera has caught the moment a car became wedged across the front of the cab as it travelled along the M25 near Gatwick.
The footage was used by the haulage company to prove that the driver was not to blame for the collision.
No-one was hurt in the incident.

Re: Footage shows lorry and car collide on M25
I have one in my DD, need to get the wife one in hers as I ve had two near misses recently on roundabouts due to twats not looking before changing lane/direction.
Car driver clearly at fault though.

"M25 near Gatwick" ? It is either the M23 near Gatwick or the M25 nowhere-near Gatwick

Re: Footage shows lorry and car collide on M25
Do you think the first one could be a deliberate accident to claim the whiplash? Seems a bit extreme but I just can't understand the drivers actions - he seems to be deliberately trying to catch the lorry?

I think he means the M25 approaching the M23 turn off for Gatwick

Perspective, I live oop north so Gatwick is near France.pvr wrote:"M25 near Gatwick" ? It is either the M23 near Gatwick or the M25 nowhere-near Gatwick
If you live in Reigate it's in completely the opposite direction.
Perhaps one of the drivers stated that a plane distracted them

As above shite driver who probably assumes the lorry driver can see him and will let him out.Jasey wrote:I doubt it - Just a shite driver who doesn't know the length of his own car !paulgs1000 wrote:Do you think the first one could be a deliberate accident to claim the whiplash?
