I pulled her out. The man who reported a swerving lorry on the M4.

Why it took the police over an hour to stop the driver.

Looking back at Peter Roebuck's career.

And a vigil for the young bride murdered on her honeymoon, she is

remembered around the world. need some answers on what happened

to my sister, to an hour precious sister.

Good evening. Three people are still in hospital, but all are out

of intensive care after the crash in Taunton 10 days ago that left

seven people dead. More than 50 were injured and trauma experts

fear the effects could be felt for years with those involved having

complex psychological reactions. Members of the emergency services

have been offered counselling. Will Glennon has this report.

The crash near junction 25 of the M 52 Fridays ago will be for ever met

-- etched in memories of those involved. Roger was incredibly

lucky, his car was in the middle as vehicles burst into flames around

him. He went to help others. When I stepped out of the car, it

was like stepping on to a movie set. You do not think it is real.

jumped out, and the front door was slightly ajar and the top. I put

the lever in and tried to prise it open. I swung the iron at the

window. It broke. I went around the side, took the glass out. I pulled

her out. Of those seriously injured, Emma

Barton was in a coma. She has now left intensive care along with two

others. All three remain in hospital. Last

Friday at a vigil, the dead were remembered, but also the survivors.

We always talk about remembrance, but actually it is forgetting that

is the difficult bit. Really difficult sometimes to be get some

of the things we see in these tragedies.

Experts in trauma three people cope in different ways. While some walk

away and carry on as normal, others have deep emotional reactions,

problems which can take years to overcome.

Flashbacks, nightmares, palpitations, shaking, sweating,

those who are lucky enough to have survived may have survived with

some gruesome physical problems. As well as the stress or anxiety

responses, we are looking at mood problems. It is a depressing think

if you suddenly lose function in an arm or leg, let alone head injuries.

For the emergency services, it is part of the job. They too can be

affected and counselling is being made available.

They have held briefings for staff, letting them know help is there

should they need it. You can see more on tonight's

Inside Out. The programme will also be

exploring the issues surrounding the use of fireworks near motorways.

With me now is Scott Ellis, what have you discovered?

Tonight we take a closer look at fireworks to ascertain what -- what

extent the firework display at the rugby club could have affected the

crash. Firework smoke can make for cadenza. It is a concern to for the

fireworks industry. It is self regulated. You don't need a licence

to run a big display. We have enlisted the help of experts. They

say smoke doesn't cause a problem, it dissipates. If the smoke had

moved to the motorway, it would have thinned out, that is what they

save. This is the man who runs the firework display and the balloon

fiesta. 600 metres away, I would not have

said too much of a problem. Within 100 metres, certainly not. 200

metres, maybe too close. It is a bold commission that he

would not have run a display there. He was talking about the

destruction fireworks could cause. The firework display ended 10

minutes before the crash. It is ongoing, but it will be many

weeks before they report into the causes of the crash. They have 30

staff following up 200 lines of inquiry. The club is working very

closely with Avon and Somerset police.

A driver is claiming that he followed and out of control lorry

for 80 miles along the M4, but was unable to get help from the police.

Stephen Barnes spotted the lorry swaying from side to side near

Bristol, but says his calls failed to get a response until breading.

Stephen Barnes set of on a long motorway journey last Wednesday,

haunted by images of the M5 crash. But just after joining the M4 near

Bristol, he sought an accident waiting to happen.

There was an Arctic lorry in front of us, but was travelling at 60mph.

It was swerving all over the place. Stephen, who broke his back in the

Army, was with his carer. They dialled the police non-emergency

number, 101. The trailer unit went over the

We could have had another M5 crash. It wasn't until Reading that the

driver was stopped, apparently over the drink limit.

We had gone seven junctions weather Laurie could have come off. He

could have killed someone. His own record shows the sequence

of events. 5 the first run call is made. He caused again 20 minutes

later. At 1130 Stephen is desperate and dials 999. The police caught

him back at 1145 and at 1156 the Thames but the police inform him of

the arrest. When we took up the complaints, we

were also passed from force to force.

Wiltshire Police said their nearest car was in Devizes, 17 miles away,

so they alerted Thames Valley where the drama eventually ended. The

police say motorway duties are taken seriously. Sometimes unmarked

lorries are used to capture dangerous drivers, but Stephen

Barnes says help took a long time. In other news tonight, public

safety is paramount and it remains a very dangerous area. That is the

stark warning still being issued tonight by Sedgemoor District

Council 10 days after a section of the Bulwark dropped into the river

in Bridgwater. In it comes as one of 30 people

evacuated defied the warning and moved back home. Our reporter is

there now. What more can you tell I am one East keep by the river,

you might be able to make out that crack which is very visible. It

happened on the same night as the dreadful M5 crash and 10 days on

people are still out of their homes. They've sworn, one of the residents,

says the temporary accommodation is not suitable, so he has decided to

move back in. -- Dave. Let me remind you the full extent of the

damage. It is a sizable crack and a growing

problem. No-one is sure what this ball could take with it. We filmed

Dave and last week at temporary accommodation at the YMCA, one of

30 people evacuated and told it could be months before he is

allowed home. Now Dave has gone back to his flat against all advice.

He took a camera with him, so we could see inside.

The only place available was in the YMCA, with my condition, to sit on

a dining room chair every day, it was not the best thing to do for my

pain. Where am in a lot of pain at the moment.

The council says it does not harbour any accommodation and

whilst the wall may appear stable, circumstances could change at short

notice. For locals, it has become an attraction and many are

wondering why it takes so long to get it fixed.

We seem to be waiting for ever. Although the structure appears to

have stopped moving, engineers say, don't be fooled, the site is still

very dangerous. He is living within the danger zone,

and for him and the businesses which cannot open, it will be a

long wait before things get back to normal.

Many local people want to know why the wall is not pull down, so the

work can carry on. Why don't you just take the wall down and get on

with it? It sounds simple, but it is a huge piece of engineering. We

are talking about a flood defences, a highway and the buildings behind

it. The wall provides extra strength to the road at the moment.

We may have to take it down, but it is a decision to be taken as to

whether we do that from the road all the water. The road has been

compromised. The equipment we need would be huge. The adviser at the

moment is when we will need to do it from the water. We will need

hundreds of tonnes of concrete. Mr swan for his temporary

accommodation is not suitable, are you going to help him?

We cannot enforce any of the residents to stay away from their

properties, we can only advise. The housing association is continuing

to work with him, and we will do our best to meet his needs.

A day after your help too. If you have pictures or the history of

what has happened here, including the Big Sue were going in 1970, the

council will be on the High Street. They would love to hear your

memories and views. You are watching Points West with

Chris and Alex. Coming up: Queen of the ice Amy

Williams talks about her full season and winning Olympic gold.

Cuddly comfort is the mother of invention, we meet the schoolboy

who has won �30,000. But first, one year after she was

murdered on her honeymoon in South Africa, Anni Dewani has been

remembered at candlelit vigils around the world. Her husband is

appealing against his extradition. Anni Dewani's family gathered again

last night. This candlelit vigil was held at her home town in Sweden.

A little after a year ago, family and friends came together to

celebrate her wedding, but within weeks they were to attend her

funeral after her brutal murder while on honeymoon in South Africa.

The aim of last night's simultaneous events in London,

Sweden, Cape Town and Bristol was not to discuss her death, but to

celebrate her life. Not one single day has gone by without us thinking

about Anni Dewani. My husband has barely smiled in the last year. We

are just full of so much sadness and the miss her so much. It has

been a torture for us. The idea for but did Gills came from social

networking sites. It unites strangers and relatives in a common

aim. Here in Cape Town the congregation at this time -- temple

watched a message from Anni Dewani's father.

Anni Dewani's husband denies any role in her murder, he continues to

be treated for depression and post traumatic stress. He will go to the

High Court next month to challenge the decision to extradite him to

South Africa to face trial. I would say to him, go back to South Africa

and answer the allegations against you, because we need this torture

to end, we do not know how long we can take it. It is really hard for

us, we need answers about what happened to my little sister, and

to our precious Anni Dewani. These vigils were not about that, they

were about a woman who died so young, but who touched so many

lives. Police in South Africa say they are

treating the death of the former Somerset cricket Captain Peter

Roebuck as suicide. The 55-year-old who is in the country working as a

journalist for the Australian media Test-match series, he is reported

to have jumped from a hotel window. This is the hotel where he felt in

his death. According to the South African media, he had been visited

by police from the sexual crimes unit. It is believed two policemen

visited him in his room to interview him about the incident

which was reported in the police station of indecent assault. While

the police were talking to him about the case, he asked to change

his clothes. It is at this point he jumped six floors to his death.

Peter Roebuck was Somerset Captain in a era of superstars. Friends and

colleagues describe him as a brilliant mind, but an insecure one.

He was a real no-no in many ways. He could be brilliant about cricket,

but he would not let you get close to him as a person. I don't think

he realised how much people want him. He will be remembered for his

role in the club's decision to... The scars never really healed.

What reaction would I get it I went back, I would say, Peter... He did

not want to be seen too much. After being convicted for common

assault for caning three young cricketers, he was seldom seen in

England, living in Australia and South Africa where police will now

investigate why he decided to end his life.

This time two years ago few of us had heard the name Amy Williams,

but on 20th February 1920 11 -- 2010, that changed. That was the

day Amy one Olympic gold in the women's skeleton. From Top Gear to

the royal box in Wimbledon, she has become our golden goal.

Imogen sailors caught up with her over coffee in her home town of

Bath. I guess expectation from everyone,

we have got such a strong bunch of goals coming up behind me. There

are six of us who are a really strong. The fight for places is

very hard. I guess, it is trying to juggle the because of what I have

been through and do enough training. It has gone well. It was a tough

few races. Luckily, my consistency came through and I managed to get

my place again. How much has your life changed

since winning an Olympic gold? My life has changed and it hasn't.

Half of me feels really different. I have had to grow out of my skin

and a bit more, become more confident. Get used to interviews!

And take opportunities which have been thrown at me. I have enjoyed

that. On the other side, I still have to train, I go to the gym

every day, I have to work through that side of my life.

We saw you on 71 degrees north, how was that?

I loved every minute of it will mean bat. That was the whole of

March last year. I disappeared for a whole of March. It was

challenging. Internally, it was a lot of psychology -- I had to

toughen up. It was a lot colder than I was used to. We were out in

it 24 hours a day. When I am competing, I will be outside for

the minimum time possible. Your good friend was badly injured,

how is she? We arrived there the day after her

crash. I have spoken to her, she is positive. She has taken some walks

in hospital. Her family are there now with her. A lot of

encouragement, she will be fine and it back on track. So unfortunate,

but these things happen in all sports.

We were saying earlier about how far will always feel like home, do

you really feel that? -- Bath. Whenever I am away, I love coming

back home. It is a beautiful place to be. I never wish to move from

We don't want her to, she can stay for ever. Bath City is in for a big

player out after Bairbre play against Dagenham and Redbridge. And

they drew one-all on Saturday. Sean Cannon scored in the first half.

The replay will be on Wednesday 23rd November.

Every once in a while a new invention hits the shops. When you

see it, you think, I could have thought of that. That is the key to

any great invention, simplicity. The kind of thing you cannot

believe hasn't already been marketed. That is true of a new

design designed by a schoolboy, it has won a national competition and

a prototype is being built to test the market. The inventor is Joseph

weaver, he is here with us now. What an incredible day for you!

is the best day Abba. Here is a picture of your design.

Basically, it is a soft animal attachment for the car seat. Its

purpose is to enhance the seat and make it look like a friendly animal.

A blanket rolls up to cover the child and the arms hold the child

in place. You could do that for grown-ups!

I wanted it to design a product aimed at children. The thing that

hit me was a soft Tories. Children like a soft pourri to go to bed

with. I had a few sketches on paper and then I had a recollection of a

monkey my brother how does a soft Tory. -- toy. I am really impressed,

but here is what Trevor Baylis had to say.

I like the idea. It has brought into the equation the need for such

a thing. This would make a fabulous Christmas present, or a bit of fun

for the car. I like the idea. He likes you so much, he said, we

will have to snap you up and offer you a apprenticeship. I have been

offered a week's work experience next year. I am looking forward to

that. It is a reflection on you. You

obviously deserve it. Well done. Keep inventing.

I will be at the peer on Weston Super Mare for the big fundraiser,

but if you want to get involved you can.

Our colleagues in BBC radio are hosting some screenings of the hit

musical Grease. If you want to find musical Grease. If you want to find

We want to know how the weather is looking. Yesterday it was glorious.

Today, by contrast, it has been the opposite. We will see some

improvements taking place tomorrow. This picture will sum up how the

morning will develop. Brighter spells appearing. We have high

pressure anchored out over Scandinavia. That is dominating

things at the moment. Things are starting to shift around. The winds

starting to pick up, these frontal systems never too far away. It is

the detail of those that will dictate the amount of wet weather

we get. The satellite image shows do his shield of cloud which has

been anchored over parts of the United Kingdom today. It continues

overnight. Tonight, no significant change to the conditions we sure --

soared during the day. Hill fog conditions, spots of drizzle as

well. Despite the cloud cover, it will be a chilly night. These are

the urban temperatures we can expect. Degree or two mower in the

countryside. Tomorrow morning will this -- start on that note. We will

see hints of things brightening up. The dry air from the Continent will

nibble away at the cloud. In the west of Somerset, you will hang on

to more cloud, but on balance a brighter day compared to do day.

The cloud is back with us on Wednesday morning. Temperatures up

a degree on today. More breezy and milder. No threat of any frost.
