- 5 years ago
This footage shows why you should ALWAYS be alert when driving and the potentially devastating consequences of not paying attention behind the wheel.
An RAC recovery driver securing a vehicle in an emergency refuge area narrowly avoids being killed by a lorry driver who swerves off the inside lane and across the hard shoulder, ploughing into the worker and breaking his back in two places, before driving off.
Released following the conviction of the lorry driver - 69-year-old Terence Poolman - the CCTV from the motorway captures the roadside mechanic’s brush with death on the M6 on 28 April last year.
