    Just seen a motorway crash

    J21/22 Milnrow / Shaw on the M62 East. I was going West.

    I saw this car floating above the others - was into the reservation barrier, span round, max speed to zero in seconds.

    Looks like the driver was in one piece as she appeared to be sat upright as opposed to a mangled mess.

    Police took over a minute to answer the call. Radio said road was closed for only 20 mins or so, hence looks like she was shaken, but in one piece.

    Think that will stay with me for a while though, I was worried that she was going to go over and smack into me.

    Very windy weather - appeared to be an old lightweight car - she was either clipped, or, just got blown over. Makes you think seeing that.

        All I could do was phone it in, and flash like a mad thing to the oncoming traffic to get them to slow down before causing more accidents. Still feeling pumped!

            Soon you'll be receiving you public service award of 3 points and 60 quid for either using a mobile when driving, or in the event you did have hands free they could always pick not being in proper control of a motor vehicle instead.....

              took the cops over a min to get there, as the traffic in Oldham was bad! thanks to that copper, they also opened up the road for me as i followed them through and got home quicker!

              they dont sit 100yrds up the road waiting for something to happen... how would they know where the accident is going to happen? give em a break.
              I didn't say it was your ******* fault, I said I was blaming you!

                  A bit left of field I know, but have you considered contracting as a work and lifestyle change?
