The Lorry driver: Episode 339

The Lorry driver: Episode 339

This week, the Uk true crime podcast comes from the north-east of England, just by Durham.

The A1 (M) is a busy motorway, and at 6.17pm on a summers day there were a few issues northbound due to an earlier fuel spillage.

As the traffic slowed, none of the people in their cars patiently heading towards their destinations could have imagined that a 3.5 tonne lorry would not stop, and plough into the traffic, with terrible consequences.
