Maybe a shame they were not dispatched after the first phone call as they could have been there 6 minutes before the crash and maybe have stopped it happening.

The Police were probably already dispatched, a broken down vehicle isn't automatically the highest priority there is. If an accident occurs the obviously the seriousness increases and the fast response becomes more important.

Now only going whats reportedon that note feel it is peposperous. You may as well arrest every driver in fog, dangerous conditions for driving in it.
I think the police should be bit more tactful. That driver would be shaken by whats happened dont need the police cautioning him at this time when all it looks a TRAGIC ACCIDENT.

Good to see you can write off a death and serious injuries as an accident from some videos and web posts. Maybe leave the decisions about Policing to people who are there, in possession of the full facts and deal with serious RTAs on a regular basis.

The hi-viz nylon makes them pretty flammable...
Anyway, if the Police don't seem like they are investigating they are accused of laziness, incompetence or corruption. If someone dies then it's only right the full circumstances are investigated and it's not written off before the blood has dried on the Tarmac.
