CCTV footage (scroll down)
The driver of the lorry had just passed an onslip with the A1077 junction when he/she came to a stop as vehicles approached the junction at high speed.
The HGV then reverses over the onslip and enters lane one of the A1077.
Motorists and other lorries only see the HGV reversing towards them at the last minute as they round a sharp bend before taking evasive action in order to avoid smashing into the back of the lorry.
It was only thanks to the quick-thinking of other road users that a serious accident was prevented.
A spokesperson for Humber Roads Police tweeted:
“A15 Barton interchange this HGV was sighted reversing across the onslip junction A1077.
“Unbelievably the HGV then began to reverse into lane 1 A15 towards oncoming vehicles.
“This manner of driving will be dealt with”.

Before you go...
WE NEED YOUR HELP.Here at Emergency Services News, we aim to tell you stories that the mainstream media are not interested in reporting. Whilst the MSM love to berate and ridicule the emergency services, who is there to report on the realities of serving on the front line?
Emergency Services News is currently a loss-making entity. But our team of volunteers, all former emergency services personnel, do not do it for the money.
We do it because we are sick and tired of the mainstream media constantly trying to undermine the men and women who put their lives on the line to keep you and your family safe.
How many MSM journalists who speak ill of the emergency services have actually dared to don the uniform and risk their own lives to save the life of a complete stranger? If you would like to help back our mission of reporting on fact-based news, then please consider helping to support us financially.
You can support emergency services news from as little as £1. It only takes a minute. Every contribution, however big or small, is vital for our future.
