Suicide horror
Discussion
Monster smash on the M6 at around 9pm last night attended by 20 plus Patrols, two fire engines and several ambulances after a suicidal driver got on the north bound carriageway, travelling south and ploughed into an innocent family in their car, head on.
The world is one fukced up place.

Is it this one?

Doesn't suggest a suicide at the moment (but then the Beeb are fastidious about getting facts right before publishing these days)

Woulden't be the first time an OAP has joined a motorway, the WRONG way around,
was only last year (I think) this happened not far from here.
you'd think however to somehow inadventantly drive down an up ramp, and join a carriageway
where the only other cars raced toward you, might alert you
but it has happened, either way very sad

Apparently wasn't an OAP and wasn't suicide either - very weird...

The Plod reckon he managed AT LEAST 14 miles before the collision. WTF?
Sounds like enough time to have got the carriageway closed, or at least to have got traffic to a standstill.
Helicopter could have closed the m'way. Police cars. Overhead gantry signs could have just said all lanes closed.

J26 is my rents and my sisters junction 
I got on there heading south @ that time so missed it all luckily.
Just heard kind of indirectly from a firebloke who was at the scene, it looks like it was very probably suicide. Pretty selfish way to go.
11-12 minutes from joining the m-way to the end, even assuming the police were called instantly and verified it straight away that's not much time to mess about with daredevil helecopter stunts or organise a m-way closure. This isn't the police's fault.
