Disgusting Morning btw Just back from work all nighter for a few hours kip then back again this afternoon
Morning - WFH today after the madness of a Manchester rush hour yesterday evening ... wouldn't fancy that on the daily ...
I wondered if something occurred on the bridge that caused him to swerve and go over, I believe he was also carrying a large trailer of fruit at the time, so that would have caused the instability if he was trying to avoid an accident.
All seems quite bizarre... if the tractor was somehow jammed in gear / direction, you'd have thought he'd have jumped before the plunge? ... wonder if he might have had some form of seizure?
Just had another look online, there's a video now. He went round a roundabout before going onto the bridge, the trailer of fruit he was towing, which was the size of a truck in itself started the pendulum effect, truckers worst nightmare, at which it went beyond the point of no return. I couldn't tell if anything crossed his path on the roudabout or if he was simply going to fast navigating it, I suspect the latter and maybe inexperience of towing a load that size.

I'd imagine even if he had time, jumping from a tractor that size, especially with it's big **** off wheels, comes with it's own risk. Plus they have roll cages so training would be to stay inside, not expecting for someone to take it over the side of a bridge lol.
