On Friday afternoon I was ironically, on my way to meet a manager and his advisor to discuss a TU safety inspection I had made on Poplar mortuary, when I witnessed the aftermath of this "accident". If you were stuck in a massive traffic jam in East London at this time, then this was the reason. It completely closed off the north bound A102, just before Bow flyover. Hopefully no-one was seriously hurt. I've got a interest since I have a Class 1 HGV licence and use to work as a lorry driver.
I don't know the reason for the crash. It was dry, light with little or no wind.
On Friday it was also "Work Your Proper Hours Day" and I wondered if working excessive hours and tiredness contributed to the accident? It brings home dramatically the dangers of work (and while I'm at it, isn't wrong that the HSE does not count those who are killed at work during road accidents in their figures? What is the difference between an accident in the workplace and on the road?).
