Breaking news: Cars crushed as tank rolls off lorry...

A miracle escape for Lincolnshire motorists this morning as a ten-ton tank rolled off a lorry crushing two cars in Gainsborough - see Lincs Echo.

This is just the latest in a series of similar incidents. I'm sure Lincolnshire Police will fully investigate whether the 'tank' was properly secured and why the accident happened.

In fact, the 'tank' is more likely to have been an armoured personnel carrier, as British tanks weigh in at over 50 tons.

And I've no doubt that had it been a fully-fledged tank, the drivers of the cars it landed on would not have lived to tell their tale...
