I was following a lorry up the M1 that had a burst tyre and it produced a
huge black cloud as it went; large enough to hide the entire vehicle for a
second or two from where I was, about half a mile behind. Fortunately, it
was in the 1960s, so there was nothing around, apart from me, as it swung
across all three lanes and back again. I don't see anything like that in the
video. If I had to guess, I would suggest something like a steering link
failure.

...or the incapacity of the driver (heart attack or similar).

Burst tyre wouldn't do that. I even had the offside front one let go
once at 56MPH and all I did was slowly drift over to the H/S and stop.
Despite what I'd imagined such an even would be like, it was quite
uneventful apart from lots of noise and dust.
