The North West Motorway Police were alerted to a suspected drink driver in the early hours of this morning (November 23), travelling on the M6.
Following a report from a member of the public about an HGV swerving in the carriageway on the M6 northbound, officers stopped the vehicle just off junction 23 when it tried to drive the wrong way at Haydock Island.
Officers later tweeted: "Driver was arrested for a positive breath test."
