Shocking moment lorry barrels WRONG WAY down major motorway after crashing through central reservation
THIS is the horror moment a lorry barrelled down the M5 the wrong way after smashing through the central reservation. The massive vehicle careened through the barrier and terrifyingly pelted down the opposite side towards oncoming traffic. 4 4 Luckily, no one was hurt - but the M5 was closed for an hour in both directions. Dashcam footage from another driver who says he was "two seconds from a serious injury" captured the horror moment. Peter Stone was driving home from a family trip to St Agnes, Cornwall in his Porsche 911 at around 12.30pm on Friday when the lorry veered in his direction. The 55-year-old said: "It literally came out of nowhere. I think I had less than two seconds to move before getting flattened by the tipper driver. 'It was quite difficult, my car is quite low down and the black car [in front] sort of obscured my view." He said it was "remarkable" no one was hurt. The dad-of-two - who was travelling northbound in the fast lane - had just seconds to react to avoid what could have been a fatal crash. He managed to swerve into the middle lane with just seconds to spare, as the lorry driver careered the wrong way down the busy carriageway. Peter captured the scene of destruction on his front and rear dashcams, which were installed by the dealership when he purchased the vehicle back in December. Peter, who has an HGV licence himself, said: "You've seen videos of trucks crossing central reservations, but for it to happen straight in front of you is bizarre. "Until I reviewed the video I hadn't even realised I was in the fast lane. "In my recall I thought I must have been in the middle lane, there's no way I could have been in the third lane. "I've had two nights of uninterrupted sleep replaying it in my mind, trying to come to terms with basically probably being two seconds from serious injury or even worse." A National Highways spokesperson said no serious injuries had been reported following the crash. 4

Harley-Davidson names Topgolf's Arthur Starrs as CEO
Aug 4 (Reuters) - Harley-Davidson (HOG.N), opens new tab said on Monday that Arthur Starrs would succeed Jochen Zeitz as chief executive officer, a transition aimed at helping the motorcycle maker cope with numerous challenges from slowing sales to bearing the impact of tariffs. He will have the mandate to steer the company through persistent issues owing to the Trump administration's broad tariffs that led Harley-Davidson to withhold its full-year forecast last week. The current CEO Zeitz will continue as a senior adviser to the company through February 2026. Harley in April said Zeitz planned to step down from his role this year. Earlier this year, H Partners had proposed the removal of three Harley directors, including CEO Zeitz, criticizing the company for declining sales and a falling stock price. The company, however, beat back the proposal through a shareholder vote. The company last week announced the sale of loans worth over $5 billion to KKR & Co and PIMCO, as it looks to reduce its debt pile while retaining majority ownership of its financial arm. The deal is expected to generate $1.25 billion in cash, according to the company. Shares of the company rose 1.5% in premarket trading.
