Video shows lorry pushing trapped car along motorway
The mobile phone footage shows an Arclid Transport lorry travelling in the fast lane on the A1(M) near Wetherby, West Yorkshire, with a blue Renault Clio trapped sideways under its bumper.
...
It is believed the car driver emerged without any serious injuries once both vehicles had come to a stop. The footage was later posted on YouTube.
...
A West Yorkshire police spokesman said: "On 13 January at around 8.30am, we attended a road traffic collision on the southbound A1 near Wetherby, to a report that a blue Renault Clio had been in collision with an HGV.
...
"As a result, at the time, the incident was treated as a damage-only collision. However, in light of the new evidence, we are re-investigating the collision and the matter has been passed to our major collision inquiry team. Inquiries are ongoing."

It amazes me that the 'damage-only collision' was just reported as that; and that it took 2 months for this to become widely known. If I had that video, and I knew the people in the car weren't hurt, I'd have tried to sell it, or put it on YouTube at once.
