So sad for this poor woman and everyone who knows her.
The lorry involved is a relatively small (18 ton) tipper carrying asphalt, the type often seen at roadworks. It is only a few years old and seems to have all the mirrors required but is not fitted with sideguards as will become compulsory from September. We cannot yet say if having sideguards would have made a difference in this crash.
