NEWS… BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT
A lorry driver had been chatting on a video call for almost an hour when he crashed, it has emerged.
Richard Mills, 53, propped an iPad on his dashboard to speak to his now-wife in the Philippines on April 7 last year.
The couple had been on a call for 49 minutes when Mills started to snake across the M25, at the Darenth Interchange, in Kent.
He hit the central reservation and rebounded back across the lanes, smashed through railings and came to a halt. A part of the lorry’s trailer and several wheels were left dangling over the A2 below.
