Lorry Pushing Car

Footage of a lorry apparently pushing a car sideways along a motorway in Yorkshire, UK.

This footage, posted on YouTube, shows the truck travelling along the A1(M) near Wetherby with the Clio trapped under its front bumper.

The scene was filmed on a mobile phone by another motorist. At one point someone shouts: "He hasn't seen it."

The owners of the lorry, Cheshire-based Arclid Transport, and West Yorkshire Police are investigating the incident.

A spokesman from the company said: "There was an incident between a car and one of our vehicles in January.

"Since seeing the footage from YouTube we are investigating."

He added that he believed the female driver of the Clio had not been injured in the incident.

The company said the lorry driver was sent home on Wednesday, when the video emerged on the internet.

He added that the accident happened on 13 January and police had investigated, but to date no action had been taken against the lorry driver.

A spokesman for West Yorkshire Police said officers were aware of the footage but had no further details at present.

What about the hundreds of potential accidents lorry drivers prevent because of their highly skilful defensive driving techniques, every single day on Britains roads, everyday true professional lorry drivers save hundreds of idiot drivers from themselves, by anticipating what idiotic thoughtless manouvre the next car driver will do directly in front or from either side of him/her! Keep up the good work truckers!!!!

@grazv6 I have got all the respect in the world for the good truckers on the roads but my child nearly never had a mother due to one friggin idiot who thought barging in "because he was bigger than me" - I had nowhere to go, he drove into the lane, the fast lane was full - only a second of time saved me in getting behind a speeding car in the fast lane - he didn't give a shit - he wanted into the lane - I either braked and caused and accident or died.
