You will notice that the livery of the scania, is the same as Richard Fords, they were good friends, probably still are, I can remember having to go and borrow one of Ronnie Rowe’s trailers with twist locks, we were taking jag’s in containers down to Le Harve and Fordie didn’t have many, it was a right load of crap, floor boards missing, brought a load of glass bottles back from France with it around 1985.

Hi Mike, yes it was a very nasty smash, i believe the driver of th D series had fell asleep and travelled some way down the hardshoulder before hitting the back of the broken down cattle truck.
Wm Rowe & Sons went bust in the early 90’s and J. Clarke Transport took over the workshop at Elford carring out HGV repairs,Breakdown work and general haulage.
