A lorry had a 'little' accident outside my house this morning.
Just after 5am I (& most other normal people nearby - there were some exceptions!) was woken by a sound like thunder and could feel the ground 'shaking' (or more like just vibrating). The driver had fallen asleep at the wheel, whilst travelling probably about 60mph on the bypass, just before the roundabout near my house. He went straight over the top of the roundabout (approx 50m diam. x 5m? high - I think that probably woke him up again). Then came out dragging half the trees/bushes with him, missed a couple of gardens, then careered through about 3 or 4 opposite, clipping 1 car on the way before making a new entrance to the church! Both the driver and his young son escaped unhurt!!
