Was it down to speed?

I suppose it's difficult on a busy motorway. You're not sure if the brake lights ahead means someone is slamming them on or just adjusting their speed. Once you realise they are being slammed on you might not be able to change lanes.

this seems to have drifted off-topic -

on the M1, the victims were stationary on the hard shoulder. the bus crashed into the back of it. clearly there's an issue to answer with that, the bus should not have been on the hard shoulder, so of course the driver was arrested, until the issue is sorted.

Was it the leaning that caused the problem?

That was my understanding, mushroom - but OH says that part of the motorway doesn't actually have a hard shoulder 24 hours a day, so the driver might actually have (unfortunately) broken down in a really dangerous place which the bus driver couldn't have anticipated.

yep, it's a "smart" motorway. but when the shoulder is being used for main line running, the overhead gantries clearly mark it as such; plus the control room operatives specifically monitor for breakdowns so that the lane can be electronically closed off.
