Man injured as caravan flips on A55

by Chris Jefferies
Emergency services were called out to the A55 last weekend (July 10th), after a car and caravan overturned on the busy dual carriageway.
The incident, which took place at lunchtime, resulted in a man being taken to a nearby hospital with head injuries that were believed to not be serious, the Liverpool Daily Post reports.
A spokesman for the Welsh Ambulance Service, said: “We attended an incident at 1.23pm on the A55 where a car and caravan had overturned on their sides.”
This crash comes as a warning to inexperienced drivers thinking of towing long caravans with unsuitable towcars, as high winds on exposed sections of motorways can cause severe handling problems.
In other news, a caravan was also involved in an accident with a lorry on the M5 last week (June 8th) resulting in tailbacks for more than 30 miles, the Weston, Worle and Somerset Mercury reports.
