Stirchley, Disaster / Accident
Ne heard a nice tale this week about lorry drivers -all of them lameless, all oi them courteous, maybe even heroic.
Gwen Haynes of Stirchley, Birmingham, was driving her 500cc -trikeup the M5 between Wednesbury last week when a traffic cone was blown into her path.
Unable to stop in time, the three-wheeler ran over the obstruction and stalled Gwen switched on her hazard lights and in no time she was surrounded by lorries all showing hazard lights.
One driver led the upset Gwen to the side of the road while four others lifted her car and removed the obstruction. Not world shattering I agree, but Gwen wanted to thank the men publicly.
