Don't know, but both turned over & facing other direction. Taking car roof off to get passengers out. Not a nice thing to see.

We do not know how it happened but no doubt some will have made up their minds that it was down to speed without knowing any facts.

Best to await the accident investigation.

It is very windy here today I hate winds and the cross winds seem very strong.
I was only thinking I wouldn't like to be towing in this.

Another one between J3 and J4 (Southbound) this afternoon.  Caravan on its side and car facing the wrong way.

Hope they all got out OK.

57 mph cruise control for me never much more than that
