An HGV driver pulled off an accidental wheelie during strong Storm Ali winds on a motorway in northwest England today.

Video filmed near Carlisle on the M6 northbound shows the HGV being blown around by heavy winds.

It is seen appearing to teeter on one set of wheels. “See that blow straight over there.”

The driver is able to recover, at which point the filmer says: "Back on its wheels."

The HGV was later blown over.

Wagon driver tries to recover his wagon from being overturned but fails as raging gusts blow him across carriageway.

Travelling on the M6 motorway northbound in Storm Ali when a truck is pushed over by the wind.

It took a few hours from when the video was filmed to the recovery truck getting there to drag it off the fast lane to allow traffic to move.
4 traffic police and 2 fire engines came. 1 highways truck with diversion stuff on and big wrecker recovery truck.
Luckily no one was injured.
It was a Boughey truck - that's the company – and it did not have a load – that’s why it overturned. It’s far too windy to put back on its wheels as it's in middle of the bridge and empty.
They will need to wait in a break in the weather before attempting to put the lorry on its wheels.
