M4 lorry crash in Wiltshire sparks police seatbelt warning

The county’s roads policing unit tweeted a photograph of the aftermath of an incident that saw a van plough into the back of a lorry, crumpling its cabin.

Miraculously, it’s driver along with all others involved walked away without injury.

A post on the Wiltshire Specialist Ops Twitter page read: “Earlier this month #RPU dealt with this multi-vehicle collision on the M4, following checks it can be revealed no one was injured!”

But RPU spokesperson also shared a warning in the tweet, reminding people that this could have easily been a fatal crash. 

“If the driver of this van wasn’t wearing a seatbelt it most certainly would have been a different story,” they tweeted.
