Telford lorry driver who stepped in to help after M6 crash praised by officials
Highways officials have praised the actions of a lorry driver from a Telford-based firm after he stepped in to help following a traffic accident on the M6.
Wojciech Nowak, who drives for concrete block manufacturer Besblock, was driving on the motorway when he spotted officers dealing with a collision between a car and an HGV.
An official for Highways England said the officers on the scene were having difficulty communicating with the driver of the Polish HGV and were delighted when another driver stopped and offered to help.
Andrew Wood, national consistency manager at Highways England, said: “Our traffic officers were attending and assisting the drivers, and encountered a few language barriers with regards to the Polish HGV driver. Thankfully another driver that just happened to be passing stopped and offered his services as a translator, which helped our officers greatly.
