love the way every ones filming and nobody appears to be actually speaking to the police.....
I think everyone was in a state of shock. We couldn't believe what we just witnessed. Within 5-6 minutes, the police were called.
Get the evidence first so no one can say this didn't happen, also no one was hurt just shocked,then get the police, also the evidence could be used to claim against the firm alleys truck driver, or the firm,
Glad no one was hurt in this!
@@wildadventurers9067 utterly unacceptable, tis is whats wrong with people now, your absolute first response should have been to call the police rater than video it, how did you know the lorry driver wasnt slumped over in the cab, your a disgrace
it goes on all the time it is more important to film somebody could have been dying
Its London no one there speaks to Police anyway.
One of the Best Heavy Haulage companies in the UK hauling Locomotives all over the the British Countryside, Sadly accidents do happen, Hope the Driver of the MAN TGA is OK.
Pay peanuts get monkeys......
@@nickaxe771obviously your not aware of the Salary Class 1 HGV Drivers are being paid these days………. Might want to do abit of research before you comment. 🚛🫵🍆
@@nickaxe771 60k peanuts how much are you earning?
@@traffordmedia Retired now after 40 years as a class one driver....so glad I am away from the nonsense we see from truck drivers daily....all very very sad.
I did tell my wife that lorry driving wasn't for her.
Mee too. 🤣🤣🤣
Love how no one has even checked into the cab by using the steps to see if the lorry driver simply hasnt collapsed at the wheel and slumped down out of view
People did check inside the cab. No-one was present.
who the idiot talkin
It was Airbag / handbrake failure I know 1 of the recovery drivers that recovered the lorry, moving the train somehow damaged 1 of the Airbags and when the driver went to get his paperwork signed he looked out the window and just saw his truck take off and the injured person was the truck driver running after it trying to stop it luckily he hit the side of the truck and didn't land underneath it. The story was also in the paper.
I`m a hgv driver.The brakes work on air=the air releases the brakes so if the system fails the brakes are locked on.From what you said it sounds like the driver may have forgotten to apply the handbrake when he got out of the cab.Whatever the cause,like the van driver said,luckily nobody was badly injured or worse.
Brutal truth ,
ahem ,
someone forgot to apply the hand brake !!!
@Hawky2k21 Hello,you do have to build the air pressure up but it only takes about 5 mins. First thing in the morning we`re required to show 15 mins of vehicle checks on our tacho cards by law. The usual routine is=Digi card in,fire up the engine,walk around checks,check load,paperwork etc. Usually,after 15 mins,your on the road and earning the company money. I think you could well be right about this incident being driver error but it wont take them long to work out what`s happened.
@@sparsh415 Do you have to do the daily checks while the engine is running? Could you not do it with just the ignition on?
@@thesuperiorman8342 You`ve got to build the air pressure in the tanks otherwise the brakes are locked on + in the Winter you need to de-ice/mist the windscreen,check all your lights so you may as well fire up the engine once you`ve checked the oil. To conserve fuel ,after your checks etc, you can switch the engine off until your 15 mins are finished. If your familiar with the vehicle checks wont take 15 mins.
Bet they don't show that on 'Train Truckers'. Oops.
P yeah or mention that their driver left the scene of an accident
@@timothygreen4997it was truck that left the scene not the driver. It's rolled with no one in the cab.
they’ve done well to hide this, this is the only thing i’ve seen about the whole incident. can’t find anything through the usual searches
Plot twist: the guy filming is the lorry driver!
Lol 🫣
😂😂😂😂
Allelys are a respected haulage firm who specialize in moving unusual loads. I hope no one was hurt.
not sure they will be so respected after this shambles,
Obviously a mechanical error ......
@@matthewc.419 have you done a mechanical assessment?.. please show us your findings?
@@stewartlancaster6155 they are still highly respected now even, they moved a locomotive to kidderminster fairly recently
@@matthewc.419 Correct . The nut at the wheel .
I used to work for Morris Allely 20 yrs ago, great company with top class kit, good enough to haul the rarest locomotives on earth inc the Flying Scotsman
Looks like a runaway. Alleleys drivers very experianced. Heavy haulage experts
Rather ironic that it is carrying a London Underground battery loco on the trailer. The loco is fitted with wheels to run on rails, so, assuming that it was disabled, if it had to be somewhere else, it could have been towed. If an axle had seized, a "skate" would have permitted movement. I admit that I do not know all the facts here, but too often rail vehicles are moved by road for cheapness- well it hasn't been so cheap in this instance.
Having said that, however, I must point out that Allelys transport are a well respected firm with plenty of experience in this sort of move. This incident surprises me as I have seen quite a few videos of similar work by them and they have shown tremendous skill.
I agree. They do have a great reputation. I think this was just an extremely unfortunate event. 🤷
I reckon the driver left the handbrake off by accident. Easily done.
The modern railway where they can't move rolling stock on rail!
The load is a battery powered vehicle from the London underground
That african is gonna have a claim up he is rubbing his hands together
Mechanical failure,, its a machine.. carrying over 100 tonnes.. I can sometimes happen....
the truck driver probably came out of the cafe and thought "fucking hell"
the only thing the police would be interested in is trying to prove the lorry was doing over 30mph.
It's not T reg, it's a private plate the clue is the AHH, A llelys H eavy H aulage.
Should have showed the sign just off the round about that states that it’s private property and that all cars are left at owners risk. Good luck getting an insurance payout 😂
Liability would fall on
driver/haulage company and not land owners so legality of signs is irrelevant.
Thats just for the landowners benefit, the haulage company will have its own insurance
Doesn't work like that
The signs displayed indicate that parking is for authorised vehicles only.
What was the loco number? At least it is undamaged
Black man did it , he jumped back into his own car to claim whiplash compensation
Obviously brake failure or the driver had an episode. Allely's are a professional and highly respected company, I've never seen anything like this from them before
the truck must of been traveling to fast for its load
not sure they will be seen as professional and respected after this carnage.
@@torquetheprisoner without a driver, are you serious???
@@lonerenegade7582 the driver was in it but he buggerd off
@@torquetheprisoner - with the weight of the tractor unit, the trailer & the load it could have cause that sort of damage at less than walking pace.
Why do people exaggerate so much ? Nobody was injured so get over it.
There was 1 minor injury mate. Whiplash,sprained wrists and minor cuts from the African man jumping out of the car in the middle.
ironic name to company, will that be bowling?
@@johndejure9849 that's a good one. 👍
Ah no. The horror the driver must've felt when they turned back up to see their lorry all the way down the road, and the carnage thats just been caused 🫣
And the horror that he will probably never be allowed to drive a lorry again. 🥺
@@wildadventurers9067 Possible mechanical failure?
@@wildadventurers9067 I`m hgv =He`ll probably get his p45 and maybe points(not sure) but I dont think he`d be banned for life. Even after a nightmare like this he`d easily get another job. The driver who assessed/trained me for BQ took out 6 cars(£50,000 damage) when he worked for Travis perkins. He hadn`t locked away the lorry crane stabiliser properly,it shot out and he was pulling the cars down the road with him.
@@wildadventurers9067 it was proven that it was a brake failure, I'm not sure if he'll be fired or not
Accidents happen , that’s life ,!!!
Hope the driver was ok 👍
With load a combined weight of around 70 tons and then brake failure, goodnight Marie. I had a brake failure with a loaded Antar on the German A1 many moons ago. Luckily our convoy had escorts and no one or anything was damaged other than my undies. I had a combined weight of 120 tons.
Lol at "other than my undies"
I`m hgv,was your brake failure down to brake fade though ???
@@sparsh415 no. The pipe to the servo blew and dumped the air, locked the shoes and burnt the linings ergo no brakes on the tractor. Remember these were late forties vehicles not modern day scannis or mercs.
I would have shit myself seeing that heading towards me pushing a pile of cars.
I think I did mate. 🤣🤣🤣
@@wildadventurers9067 😂
That's one way to move illegal parked cars
Next time they might pay for a carpark instead of road parking 😂
The liquid is most probably antifreeze. Or water
Bet they won't show that on Train Truckers Reality TV show
I Don't Live Far From There, I Remember Seeing That While Flying My Friends Drone, We Thought It Was Just Stuck Until We Saw The Wrecked Cars
Unusual for an Allelys lorry to have a crunch as they are pretty pro bunch of loco movers, on back is one of LT's battery loco's a rare sight even on the tracks nicknamed "Notre Dame" cos you ended up a hunchback if you were over 5 ft tall lol
This would not have happened if a heritage locomotive was on the back like the flying scotsman or a Deltic as this was a low value locomotive of no historic value.
If I’d watched the TV show Trucking Heavy, I would know who drives that, as their base is in studley.
Petrol 🤣🤣🤣 it's a diesel truck for a start.
My bad. 🤣
yeah, petrol big trucks haven't been made since like the 1940s. and even Diesel ones only do 8 miles per gallon or so, and these heavy haulage ones likely do even less.
but to be fair, Diesel fuel is still petroleum-based, it's just called "Diesel" after the _compression ignition_ engine invented by Rudolf Diesel that it's intended to fuel.
@@wildadventurers9067 Not really,you weren`t sure and did the sensible thing and told him to get out of a dangerous are.He had a mobile phone in his hand which has the potential to ignite fuel+ the truck could have started moving again.If it was yourself who filmed this I think you responded really well to the situation. 🙂
@@Yumbutteredsausage Yep,he defo did the right thing telling him to get clear of the area.
All the hype about driverless vehicles - it could have been a driverless lorry. But seriously, I wonder if the driver forgot to put the parking brake on. There's no way of stopping that weight and size easily.
I totally agree mate. 👍
If you open the door on a HGV without the handbrake on you get a loud alarm.
@@neilsa9292 The door was locked. I checked both sides. 🤷
@@wildadventurers9067 The alarm doesn't stop the driver getting out and locking the doors it just warns him
@@neilsa9292if it was building air pressure as suggested it would be buzzing anyway.
TfL trying to stop people driving cars again
Did the driver run away or what….. also big transporting trucks like these have a escort vehicle ahead of them… not getting the full story in this video….. 😬🤔
Parking brake failed. The lorry was at the top of the hill.
Air pressure in truck brakes works two ways; it applies the service brakes and releases the parking brakes but there's a limit to the spring force in a parking brake even in an STGO 2 category vehicle and the video plainly shows both the STGO placard and the abnormal load.
My guess is whatever the true cause of the failure, they'll blame the driver for not additionally using wheel chocks.
Imagine what a train could do on its own let alone a truck carrying a train.
I think recently what happened in India, is a good example. 👍
🙀 HS2...
All very well saying cars are insured but the payout in lots of cases will not replace the car that has been lost , who will pay the difference?
No such thing as 'accidents'
Damn wish my car was there, could do with a new one.
The insurance would underpay
How sad. I am a fan of heavy haulage and watch this actual firm, Allelys, on their UA-cam channel. I hope no one was hurt. I would doubt it, because of the speed the truck would be travelling at. Nevertheless, it must have been terrifying for all concerned!
No one bothered to check that the driver wasn't slumped down in the cab after taking ill or something.
Found one unconscious in the passenger footwell once, rolled over...got him out by making a hole in the windscreen!
P.S; In these days of Pfizer/Moderna/AZ,it wouldn't surprise me...the Ian Hutchinson (TT Races) documentary was on last night,just look what it did to him...survived motorcycle racing, the jab nearly ended him,if it weren't for Jason O'Halloran who was cycling with him in Spain!
Good to see the accident investigation team doing there job😂😂
🫡
Initial assessment: Ah, it's a write-off, man!
Alleley's usually have two people in the cab plus an escort vehicle. No sign of them. I wonder whether they'll show that in the next series of 'Train Truckers'!
Probably not. Lol
Greggs
Looks like Allelys haulage company got a big insurance bill coming .
All foreign accents is most noticeable. Modern Britain I believe.
Ah you noticed that too.
Guy was out of the cab, left engine running to get pressure, but forgot to engage park brake (SO I HAVE BEEN TOLD)
Makes sense. 👍
Told wrong, driver wasn't there
Makes sense , lucky lucky boy not to have killed no one , potential 80 ton runaway .
@@ericharrison57 driver doesn’t have to be
@@busesinthemidlandsalleged driver, rang in, not well,
Humans make mistakes, truck manufacturers must take action the hand brake warning systems are rubbish they are not good enough, not loud enough and not enough flashing lights too make it obvious to the driver that the HANDBRAKE isn’t applied correctly. There are plenty of companies that specialise in aftermarket safety systems and alarms ! 😮perhaps now the company will fit them!
Driver was well stressed that poor guy that was in the car bet he thought his time was up.
Lot to be said for Leaving a Heavy Haulage truck in Reverse along with application of H/Brake when facing down hill , or 1st when facing up hill , if leaving for a long period drain Air Tanks All Brakes lock on,,. then accidents like this don't happen.
You can't actually leave a truck in reverse gear because of the way the auto box works.
@@Nickbaldeagle02 Sorry in my day they were manual
If you drain tanks brakes don't lock on they release it's only when any air is in tanks ie some pressure in lines then brakes lock on till full air pressure is up ie buzzer not going mental! then they release.
@@buckrogers2828 i suggest you try out what your stating, PARK ON STEEP HILL with h/brake on and box in Park Drain AIR Tank of ALL AIR, select Nuetral & release Hand brake, DID IT ROLL AWAY. ????
Bet they had cones out to stop people parking there but as usual people move them to park. You are warned not to park in places where they place cones most likely mechanical failure and incompetent car drivers moving the cones
In olden days we where taught to turn your wheels when parking for this very reason. Especially when pulling heavy loads. Aim it for anything close where it would stop against or just so it turns and not just straight on down a hill. I always do, because you can't trust anything mechanical.
That makes alot of sense. 👍
Leave in gear as well but you can't if it's an auto.
trouble is also truck has an electric hand brake they fail often
@aswclassics iow I didn't know that. 👍
@@aswclassicsiow8588 truck is too old for an e hand break, I’m a class 1 license holder & drive MAN trucks. Truck would need to be 21 plate or newer.. at a glance I’d hazard a guess at the year being between 17-19 plate, possibly a 20 plate.
At least the train was ok.. Anyone get the number?
L something
Looking at the MOT history site (you can check trucks too for their version of the MOT, an "annual inspection"), and this MAN TGX has an outstanding recall. I wonder if it's to do with the braking system?
On this weeks train and trucks
That has to be the craziest thing I've seen on the road and I thought I've seen it all
The things that Mayor Khan does to get cars off the roads in London !
Mmmm Strange one... Because with modern Trucks, they have a fail safe system.... If it loses it`s air pressure it puts the brakes ON..... So the system had air in it.... Which means it was Operator error... Or the hand brake failed somehow..... Or it was not on properly applied.... Just good nobody was hurt.... :-))
Damn, Could be faulty parking brake failed or driver simply forgot to put on the parking brake either way looks like someone is seeing the traffic commissioner oops.
Bloke climbs from the smashed up car.
Guy filming - “were you in the car”?
😂😂😂
I thought he may of been caught up in the middle. 🤣🤣🤣
a case for Colombo ..maybe?
I think he pulled out on the lorry without looking 😂😂
I doubt an highly experienced firm with equipment as good as that would of made a mistake, something fucked up, I highly doubt it’s the driver but who knows, mistakes do happen but rare at that level
love how he speaks and switches to African...
Easy to forget handbrake. I've done it
What a story to tell your grand kids, the cars were in the way so I smashed them up 😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
The Only one way that this could happen is for the parking brakes to be left off.
Not really.
@@6chhelipilot explain more please
@@6chhelipilot absolutely, how else could a low loader roll away on its own, I drove low loaders for many years and this could not have happened if the parking brake was applied properly .
Yep, handbrake off and full air pressure in the tanks to hold the brakes off.
Just so people understand, the air in a truck brake system holds the brakes off, releasing that air will apply the brakes, its fail safe, if you lose the air from the tanks or a brake line breaks the brakes will automatically be applied. You can have brakes fail if you use your brakes heavily and constantly such as going down a steep incline ,the brakes will overheat and you will get brake fade.
Insurance claim must have been a few quid, respectful company alleys aswel.but mechanical failure can't be avoided, act of God I think it comes under with insurance company.
so what actually happened did the brakes fail or was the park brake off
No brakes were applied.
These vehicles are designed so this can’t happen,if the parking brake is applied properly it should be impossible for this to happen,the brakes are designed so that if the air pressure drops the emergency brakes automatically apply themselves,these brakes need air pressure to release the spring brake chambers that operate the system,air pressure is also required to operate the foot brake system so how the hell this happened is a mystery to me,the only explanation for this is the driver failed to operate the parking brake properly when leaving the vehicle and it’s run away on its own,this vehicle will be inspected by an engineer to determine how this happened,I hope it’s not the driver’s fault but if it turns out that it was he’s in a whole heap of trouble,thankfully nobody was killed or seriously injured,the insurance will take care of the damage to vehicles and property that has been damaged,these braking systems are specifically designed to stop things like this happening,I have to say after driving heavy vehicles for over 50years it’s not looking to good for the driver,for his sake I hope they find some sort of mechanical failure.
Thanks for the information.
@@Yumbutteredsausage Nothing to do with the truck unless their maintenance is crap,I’ve worked on these vehicles for over 50years so understand exactly how they work,nothing to do with a design fault,it’s more likely the driver didn’t either put the parking brake on properly or didn’t do it at all when he left the vehicle,the ministry of transport will probably inspect the vehicle to determine exactly what went wrong they normally do in instances like this.
the truck will have a dash cam but if something had failed it might not have captured it! Should be on the next series of train truckers...
Hello? Mr George , how much you pay for the driver ?
£20!
No no you pay too much, hes not a good operator !
That is one insurance claim 😢
all those cars parked up next to a truck I thought they were all dogging
🤣
made me laugh when i heard the next train to arrive
Option one is he forgot the handbrake.
Option two is he forgot the handbrake but the air was low so as soon as it built back up, it released the brakes.
Option three is the same as option two except he mistook a brake warning light for the 'handbrake on' light.
Option four is that the entire braking system failed.
Me personally, the first thing I do instinctively is engage the handbrake. I usually double check before I leave the cab.
Yeah mate it was the fence that stopped it... LITERALLY, LITERALLY...
This firm has a television show with them moving trains
Train Truckers
Did you get a picture of the drivers face when he came back to find his truck like this?
Unfortunately I couldn't. The police were dealing with him.
TV crew missed that one always watch the trucking progs sure a weird incident where's the people when they move the trains always loads of folk that's a strange case lucky no one killed
Looks like a few dollars worth of damage there and no doubt a bruised truckies ego! But obviously some sort of accident and I sort of feel sorry for the poor bastard!
Feel sorry 4 the truck driver me
Obvoiusly............the air brakes come unstuck !!!!
Wrong
So this is from Nigeria right?
Its What can happen when you have to work for a living. Try it sometime
And here we are thinking this only happens in Durban, SA. Often ...
I've been googling, there is literally no news about this accident.
Looks like someone is trying to keep it hush hush. 🤫
I guess they are all stood there filming waiting for someone to report it 🤦♂️
they want to keep it underground...
Lorry driver after taking a shit , where's my rig....
What country is this in ? Jus askin
England
Its terrible. That companies not buying everyone a new car, they will have to go through their insurance. A lot of those look older stuff, probably agency rail workers parked up, looking at the orange jacket on the dash in the mini. My point is, those cars will be owned, not on finance or leased, you get peanuts from your insurance. If someone smashes my 07 plate Fiesta up, what do you think they give me? I'm off the road and that's it 👍
I agree mate. 👍
it was private property and warnings saying cars parked at owners risk
@@davegilson5796 WAWAW
No one will get any money off insurance company as their is a sign their drivers park their at their own risk
@@andrewthornhill4229 it's the same everywhere you go, supermarkets, retail parks, BnQ, builders merchant, garden centre, Harrolds lock Smith, any business car park, football stadium, gym, anywhere. If I'm parked at the side of the road and someone goes down the side of my 16 year old Fiesta, I wouldn't even ring the insurance, I'd have to repair it myself. They would write my car off with a dented wing.
I had a flat tyre in York, picked a screw up in Holgate Depots yard, I just got the car into Kwik fit as it went completely down, lad put it on the ramps, forgot to put blocks under to clear the plastic sills, broke them, not the clips, the actual sills. I took it to John Bee body shop, yes Richard, new cills, painting, fitting, £650 and that was 2019. I just glued them back on tight.
That's why I drive a banger. I'll only pay 4 to 5 k for a car and I always keep enough money in the bank to replace it, if I have to 👍
Not seen anyone check the truck cab!
Mate, I checked the cabin, no-one was inside.
