I just heard it on the local radio on the way home.
Apparently the incident happened 3 weeks ago, although details are only just comming to light.
It happened whilst the vehicle was performing a runway inspection shortly before handing the runway back over to ATC after completing routine resurfacing work.
"The A/C landed about 1.5 miles behind the vehicle which carreered off the runway after spotting it in it's rear view mirror, avoiding a catastrophe" (local radio's words) "at aircraft landing speeds this is just seconds from disaster..." (they went on)
Must have given them a hell of a shock anyway.
Lucky escape.
Cheers.
