Taken from news.sky.com (The Latest News from the UK and Around the World | Sky News):

'Police have reopened an investigation after amazing footage emerged of a lorry careering at 60mph along a motorway with a car trapped sideways on its front bumper.

The video shows a trucker thundering along the A1(M) near Wetherby, West Yorkshire, seemingly oblivious to the car under its cab.

The lorry is filmed by another motorist for several seconds, with sparks flying from the blue Renault Clio.

The haulage company - Arclid Transport - has confirmed that the video is not a hoax and that the lady driver in the Clio “got out and walked away”.’

You see that big thing pushing the car, yeah, that’s a lorry…

It’s British English for truck.

Wow, how the fuck don’t you notice that. There was an instance around my neck of the woods of a man getting pushed for a mile in his wheel chair, but a fucking car?

I can, but when I made the post I had no idea that Lorry was a British English word.

I am deeply saddened and extremely sorry for any Americans that have taken offence at my use of the English language.

Please forgive my sins!

It’s no big deal. Anyone with a brain bigger than a peanut could figure out what lorry meant.
