MAN artic jackknifed and left motorway

This accident took place on a busy intersection of the M25 at J7. It had been raining heavily and something must have gone wrong before the driver lost control, the vehicle went through the barrier and careered some distance down the embankment, through trees etc.

Fortunately, it stopped in a jackknifed position before entering the carriageway beneath. The driver was not injured. Some time was spent cutting down the crash barrier and clearing the trees etc. before the truck was lifted/winched out using both rotators. It was then made safe and recovered to base.
