The thoughts of the members of the Road Haulage Association and its staff are with those who suffered losses, the people from the emergency services who dealt with the consequences and everyone else involved in the horrific accident on Friday, 4th November.
“I am sure that the Police and other emergency services will carry out a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding this dreadful incident,” said RHA Chief Executive Geoff Dunning. “As yet, the cause of this terrible event has yet to be determined and I believe that lessons must be learned by everyone involved.”
