past as they got on with their job.

Maybe the police knew enough of the facts (unlike yourself) to know
that no evidence external to the vehicles had to be gathered ?

What , you think a truck head on over here would have the police leave
a single carraigeway road open with traffic on it? Dream on. It would be
closed for a day minimum.
