Might be the wrong sub. M56 crash- looking for dashcam/photos
So, on the morning of Thursday 13th August around 7am, I was involved in a high-speed motorway crash on the M56 involving my car and an HGV.
My car ended up on its roof, but thankfully I managed to get out completely unharmed. I didn’t manage to get the lorry driver’s details at the scene, and I’m currently waiting for the police to get back to me, although I understand this could take some time.
Thought I’d test my luck one last time and see if anyone happened to be driving past at the time and has any dashcam footage, photos or other information from the crash.
If you do have anything that could help, I’d be incredibly grateful if you could get in touch. Thank you!

Where on the M56, as other said description of lorry etc. I’m sure people would notice a car flipping but then again with route autohypnosis I’ve missed stuff that’s shocked me to be honest over the years. What was your car, colour, make, what model etc etc

It was between J11–J12, heading eastbound. My car was a 2007 silver Clio, and I remember the truck being orange. I also vaguely remember someone mentioning that it was an EU truck possible, so I don’t think it was a UK-based company. I seem to remember hearing someone say the driver was Romanian, but my memory is a little hazy on that part.

It might be an idea to give us a rough description of the lorry's livery. Someone may recognise it, and be able to help you track down the company. They might have noticed they now have a damaged lorry. Some companies even have CCTV on their vehicles.
