Lobster lorry comes off M20

We got called to assist Ashford Recovery with this job. Tractor and trailer went the wrong side of the crash barrier, down an embankment and overturned in an underpass. Access was very restricted and the trailer was fully laden with live lobsters. The Highways Agency didn't want to give us anymore than one lane. The rotator lifted the unit out and righted it in midair before placing it on the carriageway. It was re-rigged and righted the trailer before supporting the front with lifting frame and winching the trailer backwards up the embankment, using Ashford Recovery's heavy wrecker as a dead-man/anchor for directional change. The rotator towed the trailer back into Ashford where the fridge was restarted and the load was still salvageable.
