Car left balanced on car roof in Birmingham M6 pile-up


West Midlands Police's Central Motorway Police Group tweeted this picture of the pile-up

A car ended up balanced on top of another car after a six-vehicle pile-up on the M6 near Birmingham.

The pile up, which involved vehicles including a Megabus coach carrying 27 passengers, closed two lanes between junctions five and six earlier.

No one was seriously injured in the crash near Castle Bromwich, West Midlands Ambulance Service said.

A replacement coach arrived to collect stranded passengers, said West Midlands Police, who tweeted a picture.

William Huskisson MP▸ (Member of Parliament) was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830.  Many more have died in the same way since then.  Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.

Either that or they are absolutely brilliant! 3D, too.

An interesting interpretation of allowing cars with 2+ in a bus lane?  Tongue Roll Eyes Grin
