Royal Mail lorry accident above the M25 at Chertsey in 1993. The vehicle had to be unloaded and the mail protected, before we could use the air cushions to start the vehicle lift.

Normal winching to finish the lift was not possible, because of the width of the bridge. Instead two recovery vehicle were used, one at each end.

  • You missed the best bit, where it fell back onto its wheels.

  • You are not wrong, but as so often happens with my videos I was busy controlling the roll over! What we needed was a separate guy just to work the camera :-)

  • More a slow rool over as he took the bend

    That's not a Cosworth, most likely an XR4x4.

  • The year I was born, I miss the 1990's :(

  • Dont you just love Our driving. And Swearing at the end. Dont you just love it when you could pull out a hammer and a nail and not need life insurance

  • 2:46 sierra cosworth

  • 2011 and I've still not got my package :(

  • Notice how bad the rear tyres on this lorry and to think they are supposed to be pro's

  • guess the mail was abit late that day ha??

  • Beattie is right

  • Sorry but i had to reply to this, 1st Take a look at the date, things where alot different in them days, 2nd don't blame the police, it's the bloody goverment cutting back and lining their pockets with your tax money, That should be going to our public services, NHS, Hospital,Dentists,nurse's,Arme­d forces, The Highways (roads and pavements) and yes extra policing, so that when your house is broken into, A police officer comes to your house within the hour to investigate..
