I saw the news at the time Trixie....tragic....but didn't know about the burglary.....why, why, why?
We can only hope that we hear these stories because of instant news rather than a deterioration in humanity.

It shows how vulnerable people are especially in coach built vans .very sad poor man ..

I must say that the standard of driving has went downhill since lockdown, saw 3 here last week, and was passed by a audi driver doing about 80mph in morning fog with no lights.
Tragic for the ones left and to be robbed, hope they get the lowlife who done it, it will take a long time for dad and little one left to get over it if ever.

i am at a lost to understand why the lorry driver would be parked up on the side of a very busy main road road from york to scarborough and the east coast........it doesnt say that he was in a layby etc.

amyway all take care when driving etc........my dear dad used to say........take care of your own driving and be more aware of other drivers/////////.

We where traveling down the A515 this morning in fog, the number of people driving without headlights was surprising. On older vehicles this means no lights at all, fortunately on newer vehicles this means they are driving with DRL's, but still no tail lights.

One thing i detest is folks driving with fog lights on at night or rain when there is no fog, then when fogs comes down they dont bother, no logic.

Mines is people who don’t know how to slip on and off of the motorway.

There is a layby quite near to the restaurant so I assume this is where it happened, I suppose the drive of the Motorhome lost concentration easily done.

Maybe drifted from the carriageway due to tiredness/lack of concentration/tyre failure ...

Same happens to stranded vehicles and emergency services/recovery vehicles on motorway hard shoulders all too frequently
Who knows....
Sad result whatever the cause.

 

[Robmac]

Maybe a blowout.

Brakes can only partial fail as their duel circuit, either front back or half front 4 piston calipers, and one back wheel each circuit, more like a blow out distraction or sleep.
