"I thought to myself 'wow, he's going fast for the distance, he's got to stop for this traffic'," she said, adding: "And then I thought 'he's not going to stop'."Travelling at 58mph, Onut smashed first into Mr Daglish and Ms Sullivan's Vauxhall Crossland, sparking a ferocious fireball.Two other cars - including Ms Smith's - were also hit before the fertiliser-laden lorry finally came to a standstill on the central reservation 330ft away.
PC Kate Warren was the first police officer on the scene having started her shift shortly before in a "really good mood" after spending the day enjoying the sun in her garden.As she neared she could smell the fire and feel its intense heat."It was like opening the oven door," she later recalled. At about 19:00, with confirmation people had been killed, Onut was arrested at the scene on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving.The crash involved six vehicles and left wreckage strewn across the motorway
