    Colleague came in this morning complaining that it took him 4 hours to get back from Loughborough yesterday because of the M1 being closed southbound. I guess this was the cause. RIP.

    I'm so sorry to hear this, I do a huge amount of motorway miles and as I've gotten older I have become far more aware and cautious.

    I've been thinking about your mate a lot today and his friends and family have my deepest sympathy

    Rest in peace Kev

    Thanks for all your kind words.

    Police have appealed for witnesses, the van was travelling at 50 mph (tracker) in the section of road works, Kev was driving and went into the back of the 40ft lorry, something caused the lorry to brake / stop and Kev tried to change lanes to the inside.
    The only blessing is that he died on impact and in switching lane saved his son, who was inches away from death. I've seen a photo of the van and it's a mess and they recovered Kev's body from behind the bulkhead.

    Been a difficult day for everyone at work.

    You also have to feel for the driver of the lorry.

    The second death of the week at work, with Anne losing her battle with cancer today. Only about 70 people employed by the company.
    We got to see this through together.

    RIP Anne

    Wow that’s truly saddening also

    Hold your head up high mate and stay strong talking will help

    What a terrible week for a small business to deal with
