Left the Flat Four Fanatics meet in Nuneaton just gone 10.45, hit J3 of M6 and headed towards J2 towards Rugby. As soon as I got on the motorway I saw traffic heading towards Birmingham at a standstill. Looked in my mirror and saw blue flashing lights all over the show, so I figured there must've been a smash.
So doing a steady 80 for about a mile, I came past the start of the tailback, when I heard this fucking great bang, looked to my right to see a lorry jack-knifed, and coming straight over the barrier right at me!
Fucking thing had hit another lorry at the back of the queue, then bounced over the reservation about 6 feet up in the air! Missed me by about 15 feet I think. I'm just thankful I wasn't in the fast lane at the time, or they'd still be mopping me up now!
I pulled over to call the police, who thought I was talking about the first crash, as they said fire crews were there already, so I had to explain there was another lorry blocking the fast lane the other way! Don't know when they got there, cos I spent the next 10 minutes on the hard shoulder shaking uncontrollably!
Fuck me I've never been so scared in my whole life!!!
