Imagine the shock of the lorry driver who would likely be completely oblivious until he was hit by a flying car and caravan. eek
Speaking of the latter I wonder how it arrived at the roundabout carrying so much speed.
It's a long downhill straight to the roundabout, on a 70 mph road. But there is plenty of signage, neither the roundabout nor the other slowing traffic is invisible and there is 300m + of 'slow down you fool' yellow lines across the carriageway. Looks like absolute idiocy.

However, video oddly starts with car already at the roundabout almost as if intended to be misleading; perhaps something happened immediately before? Already out of control?
It's not a 70 for some time prior to this, assuming I'm right that caravan man was going E-W
That is E-W, so you are right. He must be in the 50mph section. Still a road on which it is very easy to go a lot faster, (and get nicked for it!)
A very bad place to get distracted, for sure.
One of the FB posts had a police statement saying the driver had a ‘medical episode’.

Makes sense, hope they were OK. Luckily they only found a truck, not a small hatchback having flown over the roundabout.

Flying car and caravan, no idea how to embed a twitter/x link.

I know this sort of stuff has always happened, and we only seem to see it more because there are cameras everywhere these days, but that sort of incident (along with the Wimbledon land rover) gives me the willies. It's virtually impossible to mitigate in advance. Just have to live your life and hope never for your loved ones to be in the path of such a thing.

A jet ski is just a motorbike on water so I am hoping this is OK to post :-)
