seen it on the news when he got through the window he then jumped in and drive away i was thinking he was gonna take heads off
A truck driver reversed at speed into a lorry then smashed its cab with a shovel in a terrifying "road rage" attack captured on camera.
The two vehicles had collided as they went on to the M62 in Greater Manchester, before tensions spilled over when they exchanged details.
After a tussle on the hard shoulder, the truck driver reversed his vehicle into the lorry.
Two men locked themselves inside the cab. The pick-up truck driver then fetched a shovel from his vehicle and smashed the lorry's window.
It happened at about noon on 9 November in Eccles.
PC John Cavanagh, of Greater Manchester's Roads Policing Unit, said: "Luckily neither of the men were seriously injured.
"However, they have been left terrified by the incident.
"Accidents happen and they were attempting to deal with the situation in an appropriate manner.
"No-one could have anticipated the level of violence they would then fall victim to."
Police are appealing for information from anyone who recognises the truck driver.

Actually BB denied being the driver. |

why is that the grainy poor videos never give a description or the voice etc when it is difficult to see what the guy is (this one wasn't so bad though) but still you don't get a full description - I think I know why as do many of you!!!

no he is a good old black country man - but why no description of accent - no description in so many ?? you get these dark grainy pictures and you could assume the most inappropriate conclusion which could even be a hate crime thought - and we cannot have that now can we.

I cannot reply as i could be tricked into a hate crime

By:
didnt it say motorway maintenance on the side of his wagon?would have thought he could easily be traced.
|
|
By:
hate crime sat all time high i wonder if this is a hate crime
barrowboy probably bought from a scrap yard or made up from lots of old vehicles by his gang i don't think he is the sort to pay taxes and insurance |
|
By:
tracing him could be construed as a hate crime - unwarranted pursuit and harassment of ............. fill in the gaps later

The fighting started when yellow jacket tried to snatch a phone off orange. The vid is edited but could orange have taken the phone off yellow after he took their pictures?

I wonder if there is more to this than meets the eye. The clip had the guy with a big phone taking a photo of the other 2 guys.
Then the clip I saw he seemed to be trying to get something off the guy he had just taken a photo of, did they grab his phone off him, that was my thought, then go into the cab with it? Was he trying to get his phone back? |
|
By:
Oh I see saddo is maybe saying similar. I only saw the clip once but it lookd like they'd taken the phone off him.
So he's maybe an angry victim trying to get his phone back. IF a pair of tw@ts grabbed my phone I might go a bit mental. Maybe not THAT mental mind you, but you've not seen me when I've put a bet on because Money Tree said it was nailed on. Nothing is safe from the seethe :) |

All that trouble the fires what can only be described as a rusty old spade through the window and then drives off
Why he not recover the maybe stolen Cell Phone |
|
By:
Thing is, the other impression I got from the news was the lorry drivers didn't go to the police either, it's just they've seen the film?
Which if correct - why didn't they go to the police if they'd done nothing wrong? Does that back up the "they stole his phone" theory? |
|
By:
It said on the news i seen they called the police and he sped off
|
|
By:
Well they should check the footage for a phone and ask them where the phone is :)
Maybe they are the same cops who dealt with the london serial killer so aren't that ... sharp. |

By:
Plod went to the keeper of the tipper truck and he would not divulgd who was driving it,As the tipper was properly insured plod could not press him further as "no traffic offence had occured".
Sometimes i do wonder abouf our police "service" or maybe they do not want to upset the community |
