Unhappy Bad crash on M25, 5 bikers down, 2 dead

This has been on news. So far it appears lorry crossed 3 lanes on M25 and took out 5 bikes and 3 cars. Current news is 2 bikers dead.

Hope this doesnt affect anyone here but if youre using the M25 in Essex expect some serious problems.

RIP to those who died, and hope the other 3 bikers come through as well as anyone else involved.

Not good, condolances to all of those families affected.

This story now showing up on other news sites, and other media reporting networks. The initial reports seem to suggest that the lorry was to blame, but as usual the anti biking brigade seem to be jumping on the band wagon and highlighting the fact that biker deaths are starting again now that the season is beginning to rev up.

Poor guys - my thoughts are with their families. News like this always affects all of us. I wonder if the lorry driver fell asleep at the wheel.

RIP to those lost, and good luck for a speedy recovery to those injured.

Makes my blood run cold. I know that section of the M25 well.

I'm told the trucker's been arrested on two counts of CDDD. Don't know how much truth's in that, trying to find out more from an Essex police mate of mine, but he's dropped off the radar.
