Vehicles overheat on motorways all the time. Cars, vans, and lorries are all susceptible. As are hearses, apparently.
This clearly turned out to be a bad day for the undertakers, a bad day for the deceased person, and a bad day for the grieving family. In fact, the only person who can claim this to be a good day was Satan himself.
Even if the deceased had requested to be cremated after death then this would still not be the way he or she would have chosen to go: at the side of the motorway in front of rubbernecking onlookers.
This probably isn’t the first time something bad has happened to a hearse but it’s only now, thanks to the wonders of online video and YouTube in particular that we all get to see the outcome. Isn’t the Internet wonderful?
