My brothers car has just been shunted from behind on the M61 (nr Preston).
Travelling in the outside lane he was hit from behind sending his Vectra spinning into the central reservation, his car came to a halt in the middle lane, undrivable, although he was lucky enough to be able to leggit over to the hard shoulder.
From my brothers description it seems the Civic that hit him also hit a Golf in the middle lane before spinning 'across' the opposite lane of the motorway and crashing over the hard-shoulder and into a ditch some 100m further on.
Winesses have said that the Civic driver was driving like a complete prick and hit my brother at approx 100mph. The police attending have taken statements, all involved have been given the once over by the ambulance crew and everyone seems to be OK bar small cuts and bruises.
Rather predictably the Civic driver was uninsured.
TAKE CARE OUT THERE PEOPLE - AND STAY ALERT
