Lorry Drives Wrong Way on M5 Near Cullompton, No Injuries Reported

A lorry veered across the central reservation of the M5 motorway and sped the wrong way between junctions 28 and 29, narrowly missing a £100k Porsche driven by Peter Stone, 55, who was returning home from a family trip. Stone, who manages a fleet of vehicles and holds an HGV license, had less than two seconds to react and swerved from the outside lane into the middle lane to avoid a potentially fatal collision. The incident occurred at around 12:23 pm on Friday, August 1, near Cullompton and Exeter, Devon. Stone recorded the aftermath with his car’s front and rear dashcams and confirmed no injuries were reported, which he described as remarkable. He contacted the transport company to ensure no one was hurt and promptly called emergency services. The lorry driver's dangerous maneuver caused a hair-raising near-miss on a busy motorway, highlighting the dangers of vehicles crossing central reservations onto the wrong side of the road.
