![]() ![]() He described his journey on the M8 and said that just before the Kingston Bridge, at the Tradeston turnoff for the M77, the traffic was at a steady pace. The pursuer who was 34 years of age and a demolition worker, was the first witness. The question before the court was to decide if the pursuer had proved his version of events, on all of the evidence. The accident was therefore not his fault. The defender, in contrast, claimed that he had stopped his van and that the fourth driver collided with him, pushing him into the pursuer. That in turn caused the pursuer's car to be pushed into the first car, driven by Mr Cassidy. The first was much greater than the second and his position was that the second was caused by the fourth driver failing to stop in time and colliding with the defender immediately after the first impact had occurred. The pursuer claimed that it happened because the defender failed to stop in time when the pursuer slowed down due to traffic in front of him. The Dispute between the Parties The dispute between pursuer and defender concerned the sequence of events and the reason for the defender's car colliding with the pursuer's car. The police attended shortly afterwards and spoke to Mr Cassidy and the pursuer. The defender thought that no one had been injured. The defender asked if he could go and was told by the AMEY employees that he could. Civilian workers, understood to be employed by AMEY, attended and assisted the drivers in getting out of the outside lane and onto the hard shoulder. The three remaining drivers, Mr Cassidy, the pursuer and the defender, did exchange details. He was later described to police officers but he has never been traced. The defender said that he would go to his van to get pen and paper to take a note of names and insurers and while he was doing so the fourth driver got back into his car and drove away without giving any details. The fourth driver was upset, shouting that "it was a disaster". All four drivers got out of their cars onto the central reservation. The accident happened in the outside lane of the motorway. There were thus four vehicles involved in the accident, the first being driven by Mr Cassidy, the second by the pursuer, the third by the defender and the fourth by a person who is untraced. The second contact between pursuer and defender was caused by the defender being struck by a vehicle from behind. The second collision caused a scuff on the bumper of Mr Cassidy's car. That car was being driven by a Mr Cassidy and was stationary. The pursuer came to a halt and then immediately afterwards was again struck by the defender's van, pushing him into the rear of the car in front of him. Consequently he slowed down and was travelling at a slow speed, less than 25mph, and was close to stopping, when he was hit from behind by a van driven by Robert Downie, the defender. He knew the road well and was not surprised by the signs as he knew that traffic often started to build up at that time in the morning at that part of the motorway. As he approached the Kingston Bridge, he saw that the overhead gantry signs showed a speed limit of 40mph. He was driving his car, heading east from his home in Paisley and going to work. Introduction On 7 October 2007 Angus Campbell, the pursuer, was travelling on the M8 in Glasgow.
