I'm trying to cope with my parents death that took place on 22nd January 2023 on the M40, at around 8am, south bound, both died at the scene instantly with the same injuries, a vauxhall insignia first hit them, then a coach hit them where our C class merc hybrid caught fire, passers by took my parents out and the car went up in a ball of fire. If anyone did see anything, please could you let me know, there is a youtube vid of the merc on fire from the north bound, but its not that clear.
It just helps me talk to people on this forum, a few of my car pics below too as some know me on here.
My whole life has taken a turn with me helpless.
Regards

Two elderly people were killed and 12 others injured after a horror crash on a busy motorway.
Emergency services were called to the scene between Junction 4 (High Wycombe) and Junction 5 (Stokenchurch) on the M40 in Buckinghamshire at around 8.15am today.
Thames Valley Police said around eight vehicles were involved in the crash and two people sustained serious injuries, while another 10 suffered minor injuries and were taken to hospital.
Police said a woman in her sixties and a man in his seventies, died at the scene.
Both sides of the motorway were closed for more than three hours to allow an air ambulance to land.
The route remains closed southbound, though northbound re-opened at 11.30am.

Thames Valley Police said: ‘Officers attended a report of an RTC involving multiple vehicles at around 8.15am today. Sadly two people have died. Their next of kin has been informed.
Thankyou all for your kind words it does mean alot, it feels like a very bad dream. It's been 6 weeks now and still feels like yesterday when the police turned up. The cars are keeping me a bit busy and my 9 year old daughter, however I just cant process it and the shock.
The M40 doesn't have sufficient cameras and police are relying on others for any dash cam/etc, it's madness with how many cameras there everywhere are if you drive in the bus lane or park on a double, yet both my parents died in in a horrific crash near junction 4-5 with no cameras.
