Breathtaking footage shows a hit-and-run collision involving an Amazon truck and remarkable reactions from haulier who was able to stop his own vehicle safely.

Police have confirmed they are investigating but no individual was injured or has been currently charged with an offence.

The online retail giant has been provided with contact details for vehicle owner, but according to the firm they have not yet been in touch.

Footage obtained by SWD Media shows a white Mercedes tractor unit pulling an Amazon Prime branded trailer colliding with their vehicle.

It appears the HGV was travelling too fast round the corner and as a result the trailer drifted into the opposite lane causing extensive damage to the Harrisons vehicle – the driver did not stop at the scene.

Harrisons Transport later posted an appeal for information on social media.

The post read: “I’m just wondering if anyone on here knows the company or driver of this vehicle that was involved in an incident on Thursday 16th at around 11:25 am near the Brampton area on the A69.

“The truck was pulling an Amazon trailer, please ring our office if you have any information.

“Thank you.”

The post has been liked over 500 times, shared over 700 times and received over 450 comments.

One user commented: “Wow.. your driver was very lucky, and a bit of skilled driving on his part to get stopped safely.”

Another wrote: “What a scumbag not stopping.”

A third said: “I bet he needed new pants!”

A fourth added: “No wonder it’s next day delivery.”

A statement issued by Amazon said: “We have very high standards for the delivery partners we work with and are investigating this matter.”

A spokesperson for Cumbria Police said: “Police were contacted at 11:46am on 16 January with a report of a road traffic collision on the A69 near Hayton.

“The collision involved two HGVs.

“One of the HGVs failed to stop at the scene of the collision.

“The driver of the other HGV was uninjured, however there was some damage to the vehicle.

“Enquiries are ongoing in relation to this incident. Anyone with information is asked to contact Cumbria Police. You can report online at www.cumbria.police.uk/report-it referencing incident number 71 of 16 January. Alternatively, you can call 101 referencing the same incident number.”

According to Brake, the road safety charity: “A hit and run, known in law as ‘Failure to stop or report an accident’, is a criminal offence in any case where injury or damage has been caused. The driver is required to stop at the scene and provide their name and address and that of the owner of the vehicle.

“Failure to stop is categorised as a summary offence. These offences are usually heard in a magistrates court and carry relatively minor sentences – upon conviction a defendant can be sentenced to a penalty point endorsement of between 5-10 points or could be sent to prison for up to 26 weeks.

“The fine imposed by the Court could be up to £5,000.”

CCTV footage shows two moped riders crash on a busy road, but neither could decide who was to blame despite clear evidence that one pulled out in front of the other.

The collision happened on Friday October 11 at 12.57pm on Greyhound Lane in Streatham, South London.

As the clip begins a motorcycle comes into view followed by a red moped rider who then decides to stop on the opposite side of the road.

Moments later a grey van appears  and is being overtaken by another rider on a black moped.

The man on the red moped waits for a car to pass and then pulls out in front of the man on black moped causing them both to collide.

Despite both men landing on the road, neither were seriously injured or needed immediate medical treatment.

He claimed he could not see the oncoming moped due to sun glare, but after realising the incident was caught on camera he wanted to resolve the matter quickly.

The 35 second clip was shared online by John Mulvey and viewers were quick to decide that the rider on the red moped was to blame.

One user wrote: “Looks intentional from red.”

Another commented: “Defo looks on purpose to me.”

A third added: “If the biker could see the van letting him out then he should have seen the other bike – there’s no prohibition on overtaking on this road, although it doesn’t seem sensible I don’t think this affects liability.

“Just because someone flashes you out doesn’t give you a right to go, you still need to ensure that it is safe.

“This is also the reason the highway code advises against waving or flashing people out.

Speaking today, Mr Mulvey, 58 said: “I can confirm it was not on purpose or an insurance job.

“The van was allowing the red bike to pull out, the other bike overtook – also note the sun is shining and dazzling the red biker.

“However, neither rider could decide who was at fault, they agreed not to claim on insurance and would pay for the respective repairs themselves.”

The rider of the red moped declined to comment when contacted.

The Metropolitan Police have confirmed that the incident was not reported to them.

Last year 21 motorcycle users lost their lives and 767 were seriously injured on roads in the capital.

Shocking footage shows that the problem with masked youths on unregistered motorcycles in the capital is out of control.

The latest incident happened on Roseburn Terrace, at Wester Coates in Edinburgh on Saturday 28th September 2024 at 5.55pm.

Six youths, on four off road bikes and a quad bike were riding at speed on the cycle path and road with one performing a wheelie close to pedestrians.

The clip obtained by SWD Media also showed another performing a wheelie on the main road, and other swerved off the pavement in front cars and a bus.

It is clear the youths have no fear of being caught by the Police, because somewhere in the city on any given day mayhem is being caused.

Residents fear repercussions from reporting the incidents and choose to share footage anonymously in the hope authorities act.

Balaclava-clad youths have been wreaking havoc throughout the city for several years now, however recently incidents are becoming more serious.

Recent events include masked bikers riding the wrong way on Princes Street close to a tram, performing wheelies on the crowded Meadows, and on another occasion a gang threatened to ‘slash locals’ on Broomhouse Loan.

Earlier this year a gang on motorbikes broke into a luxury apartment on Learmouth Terrace in Stockbridge – the masked men reportedly made off with a safe containing cash and jewellery.

Speaking today, on the understanding we kept him anonymous, the driver of the camera car said: “It was unusual it felt like we were in a movie.

“I noticed a biker on my left mirror coming up fast, riding on the pavement or on the cycle lane; soon enough I found myself flanked and overtaken by several motorbikes and a quad.

“They were mostly riding and driving on the nearby cycle lane, and running across the pavement onto the main road, some of them wheeling and revving, seemingly none of them wearing helmets.”

Police Scotland said that they cannot comment on videos or social media posts about incidents that have not been reported to them.

A double decker bus has hit two bollards then demolished a bus stop and dragged it around 25m (80ft) along the road.

The incident happened on Slateford Road, Edinburgh at around 10.30pm on Saturday evening.

A 44-year-old man will now be the subject of a report to the Procurator Fiscal.

Footage and images shared with SWD Media shows extensive damage to bus shelter and the front nearside of the vehicle.

The driver appeared to be very shaken but unhurt and passengers also escaped unharmed.

At around 2.30am on Sunday the bus was recovered to the Longstone depot.

The bus stop is currently out of service with barriers and hazard tape.

A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “We were made aware of a bus having struck a bus shelter on Slateford Road in Edinburgh around 10.45pm on Saturday, 28 September.

“No one was injured.

“A 44-year-old man will be the subject of a report to the Procurator Fiscal.”

Lothian Buses have been contacted for comment.
