    <a class="postlink" href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-merseyside-15628177" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-me ... e-15628177</a>

    The story itself is pretty horrific - a truck has fallen off a bridge/roundabout over the M56 landing on the motorway itself. No-one else was injured except the wagon driver who died at the scene. Comes so soon after the crash on the M5 as well where 7 people died.

    Aside from the nasty side of it the video which accompanies that article (and is currently the second most watched video on the BBC website) was filmed by me. Pretty shoddy quality but i only had my phone.

    It happened around 15:20 - 15:25, we hit traffic at 15:30 and were stationary by about 15:45, around half a mile from the accident. We got moving around 16:20 and i filmed that as we were going up the slip road to leave the motorway.

    Reminds you of the risk you take every time you get in a vehicle, this was probably the drivers fault, wagons don't tip over or fall off bridges for no reason; he was probably going too fast around the corner. But anyone could have been under that when it fell off the bridge, completely innocent - wrong time wrong place.

    Well mister Moores, that's some epic shit right there. (The fact that the vid is yours, not the accident)

    Well done James.

    Pretty dark of me, but any richer now?
    I always wondered if they buy your vid?

    I remember when I did a photographer job for a local newspaper, the woman who managed this told me:

    Whenever something happens, a terrible car crash or something like that, the first thing you have to do is to take out your camera.

    Before that I actually considered to become a journalist.
