I will remember 22nd of November 2019 as an encounter with the worst tailback in my life. I was driving to work and reached the A40 section that passes Hillingdon train station when I encountered a traffic jam. The traffic was so slow that it took over an hour to reach the next slip road.
To cut a long story short, I was 1 hour and 10 minutes late for my job yet I was due to arrive 5 minutes early.
The traffic was caused by a car crash and the car managed to jackknife itself sideways and took out about 50 meters of fencing to the northolt military base and I could see the runway from the road through the fence. The car looked like a BMW or Mercedes, they look alike to me. It was beige coloured and was upside down. That car must have been going extremely fast...
If the driver survived I am sure he or she had life changing injuries. People need to calm down.
