A HGV driver carrying mortar for a new housing development was followed by a group of at least 20 motorists believing his tanker was carrying petrol and diesel.
Despite lacking warning signs citing inflammable liquid on board, the motorists continued to follow the tanker during its 70 mile journey from Bilston, Wolverhampton and the building site in Overstone, Northamptonshire.
Johnny Anderson, who was driving the tanker on Thursday for Weaver Haulage said he had a 44-tonne load on his tanker.
