Sleeping/on phone I reckon. Shocking that he did not see the car. Just goes to show that no matter how good a driver you are, the risks are other road users.

Not paying any attention., just in a world of his own. Hope the police throw the book at him.

In some parts of the country the Police have started using Police trucks so that they are at the same level as a truck driver and can see in the cab. Very effective apparently. They're fully equipped with blues 'n two's etc. Most bad incidents involve trucks apparently.

Holy sh!t, that's scary!   crazy mofo driving that lorry should be put away  
Very glad that they weren't in that for sure!

It's seriously lucky no-one was in the car, glad everyones ok.

Not wanting to tar all wagon drivers with the same brush (because they do a good job, we'd be pretty screwed without them) but last month just at my road end a wagon driver had a sneezing fit whilst behind the wheel and ended up leaving the main road, going through a hedge, into a field and right through a churchyard taking a full row of headstones with him before coming out the other side. They can be bloody dangerous things at time!

Saw one of them on the M62 had pulled a lorry over, we thought it was a tow truck with blue lights on but when we got closer realised it was a cop truck then we were even more .

Maybe they have jet engines in the back

It does smack of something that would be in a cartoon but it's still very scary.

Glad nobody got hurt.....cars can be replaced but people can't

No one was hurt so in a way I suppose it is quite funny in a way, especially with it being a sneezing fit that caused it

Imagine if one of your family that was buried there though, not very nice
