Insp Terry Bathgate, of Cumbria Police, said: "There is significant technical difficulties in recovering a vehicle of this size."
A few snaps of the scene, tape measure for the skidmarks (on the road surface that is
), then whip a chain round the wreck and drag it onto the hard shoulder with their Range Rover.
Maximum time at scene 15 minutes.
As I am a humane person, I would accept the clock needn't start before the body is removed from the wreckage.
