I can only agree... that is bad, especially that the m6 drivers efforts were in vain.
You get quite a few of those kind of roads in the Netherlands, where there are simply rows of trees along the road. They always make me very nervous, because if you hit a wall or barrier it may still move and ease the impact, but if you hit a tree its not moving at all.
Hopefully the others were all strapped in and the M6's safety features spared them from serious injury. Also a shame to see such a beauty wrapped around a tree
