Hearse struck by wheel that came off refuse truck

摘要

Recycling firm William Tracey has had its O-licence curtailed for 10 weeks after two wheels fell off one of its refuse collection vehicles. The operator had its O-licence authorisation cut from 144 to 121 vehicles, leaving it without a margin, for 10 weeks from 19 June. Traffic commissioner (TC) for Scotland Joan Aitken's decision followed an incident in which the two nearside rear wheels came off a truck as it left the M8. One hit a hearse and the other travelled into the central reservation on the M8.
