This is why your parcels will be late. Seriously though, amazingly close call and very good luck to have nobody injured.

The video was also on BBC News; looks like a wrong side failure, as the barriers were up and no lights at the time with the barriers coming down onto the wrecked tractor unit.
I can only help one person a day. Today's not your day. Tomorrow doesn't look too good either.

Yes indeed. I believe I heard on one news report (don’t remember which one) that, shortly before the crash, the barriers had become stuck closed due to weather and someone was on site working on the equipment.
