Thanks to the Mod who deleted the original post and to Bromp for the voice of reason he so often shows.
However, we woke up to this news today having returned from holiday late last night and neither of us is involved in any way.
Since this is national news now, there is bound to be speculation and I see no reason why this forum should be any different really. It certainly won't offend me.
Since we heard a few facts and 'informed' speculation has become apparent.
The lorry driver worked for an agency, not Brett's, so may not have been familiar with how fast the traffic goes along that road, and the blind spots to look for when waiting to come out of the gate.
It was foggy at the time, as it was here 10 miles away, when we got up.
The coach flashed a car driver coming the other way, who was indicating to turn into the yard, to allow him to do so.
BUT....there is a bad dip in the road at the end of Black Drove just before the yard gates which always appear to make vehicles with lights on flash as they go over it.
At the moment I have no more reliable information but please discuss it if you wish to and thanks again.
Pat
