I believe that lorries can kill men too. But that's not as emotive, is
it?


I think its the first proper instance of Hugh's Law in action.


It was a bus queue. Its even more silly to try to get emotive about people
who want to go places by bus.

The lorry did cross a road though, so perhaps you could get emotive about it
potentially scratching someone's car.
Having said that, the incident demolished a house too, but only some
northern terraced thing.
