The driver has said nothing - his wife has made a statement denying that
he fell asleep but carefully not actually attributing this information
to direct input from her husband.  I may be a jaded old fart, but her
television appearance failed to impress me one jot.  I thought her
comments shallow and her 'breakdown' theatrical.

He was towing a trailer with another car on it.  If you lose control of
a rig like that for mechanical reasons such as a tyre failure, all hell
breaks loose in a handbasket.  But the aerial pictures of the crash
scene show a nice pair of parallel tracks going right down to the
railway.  He got all the way to the tracks with the trailer upright.
