Youtube footage of a news item today showing a lorry pushing a car sideways along a motorway in the UK. I can understand the driver not seeing the car in the position it is in at the front of the lorry but how the hell did he not notice hitting it in the first place.

The Police are re-opening the case as they obviously didn’t do a very good job the first time around with no action taken against anyone :

Police say there were no injuries and both vehicles were on the hard shoulder by the time they arrived, so the incident was treated as a “damage-only collision”.

I assume they didn’t bother with statements then. They probably had some photographers to harass and needed to get moving.
