I read on my rac app that a herse had overturned on one of the roads going into Nottingham this morning. Glad I wasn't heading south today.

I know, it couldnt get worse! wonder when it will re-open

I got caught in this - 5.5hrs to the outskirts of Coventry! As I returned home and passed the scene at apx 5pm it was still closed as they needed to resurface. I think the estimated opening time was between 7-8pm.

 

Very tragic tale of events.

It says in some reports that the driver was 87!!! Something really needs to be done to regularly check people who are still driving at that age.

The road re opened at 10pm

87 and travelling the wrong way down a busy motorway.

 

Says it all really, thoughts go out to the woman who died in the van.
