Nasty crash on M62

[Zirax]

Well there was a nasty smack on the M62 on the way to Leeds. A girl in a Clio went past me like I was standing (I was doing 70) at the time I said "bloody hell" in the car. A couple of moments later I see a clio shooting across the motorway backwards in a ball of tyre smoke and debri. Not sure what happened but there was a guy in the outside lane that looked like he had been smacked. Called all three services as the car caught fire after I pulled up a few hundred yards up the road. She was out and was away from the car (was fine). The guy in the other car looked fine.

Bloody testiment to modern cars as she must have hit the barriers at least 90 and got out walking. She was a very young girl.

Very very close one today Just another reason why I do 70 and leave a bloody breaking distance!!!

They are probably going to shut the M62 as the car really caught. Will ring rozzers and see if they want a witness statement.
