I heard snippets about this when I arrived at work

Whilst obviously not good for the driver, the time it happened was a bonus - even if it did hamper attending 999 services & recovery, as that road the truck is partially on, is heavily used by families for walks during this 'Covid time', as is the 'towpath' at the opposite side of the (Aire & Calder Navigation) Canal
I rode down the 'opposite' side on Sunday dinnertime myself!!!
It's about a mile & 1/2 from me, in a straight line
The drop is about 30 foot there, & the Canal is circa 8 -9feet deep!!
It happened between jcts 31 & 30, with the truck travelling westbound
