Migrants from the Calais Jungle camp are using a deadly new tactic in their attempts to get to Britain.
Ruthless
gangs are deliberately causing crashes on the roads to the French port
by hurling large objects at cars – then sneaking on to lorries caught up
in the resulting tailbacks.
Home
Secretary Amber Rudd has spoken out after a team of Mail on Sunday
journalists narrowly escaped death last week when three migrants threw a
log at their car, forcing it into the path of a 38-ton juggernaut.

After being briefed about the incident, Ms Rudd issued a statement describing the development as 'extremely concerning'.
She
added: 'It's vital that people feel safe when using the Channel ports.
This shows just how it is in all our interests to combat attempts to
enter the UK illegally.'
Reporter
Ben Ellery, 32, and photographers Steve Burton and John McLellan were
all injured when their British-registered Audi swerved to avoid the
missile.
