Spotted this on the outbound and parked the rig on the return ~ an object lesson on why not to loiter down the nearside of a truck, though surprising how many drivers are content to do so for miles at a time.
Crash investigation is big on TV currently, and here it would seem the car has been braking, with the doors being opened like a can of sardines.
And with all done, a pic of a container that's not going any place anytime soon, with a loose load making light of two-millimetre corrugated steel with brakes hit hard.
As a teen I collected an engine for a pick up and strapped it to the tail-gate, only for it to break loose in the same circs... albeit without conspicuous damage like this.
Containers are the 'black box' of haulage. Often sealed, there's no knowing what's inside or how it's been restrained, if at all. Their weight is known, for shipping lines need it. No-one was harmed, incidentally, in the making of this blog-post.
