What wasn’t reported was the truck and trailer with an unsecured load who lost a wooden pallet and failed to stop. The said pallet was headed straight for the windscreen of the car which managed to avoid that collision only to be rear ended by another vehicle. One policeman in attendance was not helpful.

I doubt highly whether the driver of the truck will be identified although I am sure he would have been caught on the nearby speed camera after accelerating away. I am extremely annoyed as the wooden pallet was on the road as evidence and another driver who had stopped confirmed the story.

However, our guardian angels were with all of us involved that day, an elderly woman and middle aged woman avoided decapitation and a younger woman and her two children were not badly hurt.

to the driver of the truck and trailer, you know who you are, I believe KARMA will come knocking and it will be 10 tenfold.
