Shocking this, happened right near where I live. Some of the B&M Bargains trailers that come out of Manor Park and B&Q ones from Whitehouse are VERY tall and it makes you wonder just how safe they actually are particularly if they're loaded to the top.

One sharp manouevre to avoid something and there has to be a chance of a tip-over. Unfortunately in this case it happened to be on an over-bridge which doesn't have particularly high barriers. As the report says it's a miracle that nobody else was killed at that hour.
