Tanker head-on caught on mobile camera 18 March 2010
Mobile phone footage, captured by a motorist and loaded onto You Tube, shows an Arclid tanker pushing a Renault Clio at high speed along a trunk road.
Yahoo news reports that the Renault driver escaped without injury, after the tanker driver became aware of the problem and stopped.
Peter Conway, transport manager for Sandbach, Cheshire-based Arclid Transport, says: "There was an incident and the police are dealing with it. We are also conducting an investigation."
The incident is bound to rekindle arguments for better front-down mirrors and Fresnel lens add-ons.
