What’s going on recently with hgv crashes? Seems to be something every single day recently, on arrow straight sections of motorways. People falling asleep? Messing on phone? No doubt some are caused by 3rd parties but it seems ridiculously frequent this year.

Just this week alone, truck crashed by itself into the concrete barrier on m6, over 2 hours delay.
Few hours later, truck overturns on m6 again, closed for nearly 12 hours.
Today tipper has hit a gantry with his raised bed up, m5 now closed both ways.

Not had a clean run all week without some kind of issues. Doing Chorley - Bristol - Chorley all week so the 2 hour delay meant I couldn’t make it to Bristol and had to stop so far away that I then still couldn’t make it there and back to Chorley without another 45 so in total nearly 3 hours delayed.
