Inches from disaster on the M25 😳
A stolen black BMW X5 ploughed through a temporary barrier at roadworks on junction 27 of the M25, the Theydon Interchange in Essex, late at night on 15 March, missing road workers by inches.
One man working that night was so shaken by the near miss that he has since left the industry. "You don't get many chances in life, and that night I will never forget," he told the BBC.
The car was later found abandoned in Romford. A man was arrested nearby, but there was not enough evidence to charge him.
Road workers are someone's dad, son or mate. Slow down through the cones.

A British Airways flight from Amsterdam appeared to strike its tail on the runway twice while landing at Heathrow this morning, before the pilots aborted and climbed away.
The Airbus A321neo, flight BA431, was caught on the live stream at around 10:34am. In the footage, the tail appears to touch the runway, the jet bounces, and the crew carry out a go-around, a standard safety move where pilots abort a landing and circle round to try again.
A tail strike is when the back of the plane touches the ground, usually because the nose is pitched up too high on landing or take-off. Aircraft that have one are normally inspected before they fly again.

That's a lot of police cars for one bump with a post van 👀 This was West Drayton.
Footage sent in on Thursday 12 November at around 11:35am shows a blue hatchback stopped hard against the back of a Royal Mail van at a junction. Its front end is crumpled, and the front wheel is sitting at an angle it really shouldn't be. Officers are out on the pavement with at least two marked police cars parked nearby, while a couple of posties look over the damage.
The person who sent it says it was a robbery. Police haven't said that, so for now it's only their claim.
It's not clear yet what led to this or whether anyone was hurt. We'll add anything police confirm.
If you saw anything, call police on 101, or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
Anyone nearby see what happened before the crash? 👇

BBC One launched its “Bollywood” ident on 8 November 2002, as part of its Rhythm and Movement idents, which showed dancers from around the world between programmes. It ran until 2006, when the channel switched to its “Circle” idents.
For a lot of British South Asian families, it was one of the first times they saw themselves on BBC One between the shows. Whole households would stop and watch.
