Anyone else seen this on various news and video sharing websites? I'd be gutted if that was mine! I hope the occupants are ok and the insurance is covering this?
I know we can't accurately judge his/her speed in the video but it looks to me to be much quicker than the HGV they're overtaking. It could be that the HGV isn't at his maximum speed limit.
The van looks like it was a 2012 Sterling Moonstone rated at a possible 1615kg MTPLM and a VW Passat Saloon, max tow potentially 1800kg with a minimum car unladen weight of 1648kg. We can only speculate on his loading of car and caravan but I would have said that combination should have been a sound match if loaded correctly?
Makes you realise how quickly these things can happen when towing!

Sorry, any admins able to move this to the General area. Somehow it's posted to the New Member board.
