Police officers claim narrowly miss being beheaded by open caravan window
Gloucestershire Road Police were counting their blessings this past weekend, following nearly “being beheaded” as a window of a passing caravan on the motorway swung open.
The police, who had stopped a speeding car on the side of the road on the M5, noticed the caravan, which passed in close proximity, had a loose window.
Upon speaking to the stopped driver, the boys in blue followed the caravan and discovered that the window had unfastened itself and made itself insecure. The driver of the car towing the caravan did not know that the window was open.
Gloucestershire Road Police updated its followers on twitter with photos of the caravan stating they were “Seconds away from being beheaded on M5”.
They also reported that a workman was nearly hit by the open window between junctions 11 towards Cheltenham and 11a towards Brockworth.
Before setting off on a journey with your caravan, it’s pretty imperative that all windows are fastened shut securely as we’re sure you all know. What else do you look out for before setting off on a trip? It will be interesting to read your comments below.
