Stoke-on-Trent Amazon lorry crash quite surreal, says witness

Ms Sutherland said there were off duty nurses who helped attend to people.

"The person who looked the most injured wasn't able to move, their car was completely crumpled and it looked like it had been hit from every angle.

"The sunroof and the back window had shattered.

"I could see that there was a gentleman in the other car opposite and that he'd got a very bad nosebleed, but he was talking."

Two people were taken to hospital with "potentially serious" injuries, West Midlands Ambulance Service said.

Amazon says the company is investigating the incident with a haulage contractor whose driver was towing their trailer.

Ms Sutherland said the shock of it all did not hit her until she left the scene of the accident.

"I was driving home, that's when I started thinking that I wouldn't normally have been there, and what if I'd have been two cars in front.

"It could very easily have been me, so it did worry me afterwards, but at the time I wasn't really thinking of anything other than who needed help," she said.

Staffordshire Police has said the lorry driver has been reported for dangerous driving, and is appealing for any other witnesses to the crash to come forward.
