Absolutely shocking
Poor guys involved.

Sorry, wasnt suggesting a need to watch the whole video (though BTW just to confirm if anyone is worried, there is no gore, guts, bodies or anything like that - I'm not into watching or posting that kinda stuff!) it's just how all is calm, slowing down and them all of a sudden whumpf! jobby, where the hell did that come from?!

That's a brutal crash. Not nice scenes.
Never good when they bring out the blankets. And the other drivers reaction sums up how bad it must of been.
