A man has been jailed following a horror crash on the M60 which left a taxi driver seriously injured.
Pieces of Akinmdeje Akinleye's smashed-up hire car were left scattered across the carriageway after the collision near Cheadle last year.
A court heard how on October 27, the 38-year-old's black Hyundai Tucson was spotted being driven the wrong way down the motorway in lane three.
The vehicle then collided with a black cab near junction 2, leaving its driver with serious injuries.
When police arrived, Akinleye, of Broadoak Road in Wythenshawe, was behind the wheel of the Hyundai still trying to drive despite all the airbags having deployed.
He was 'red dotted' with a Taser through a smashed window before being arrested and taken to Stepping Hill Hospital for treatment for minor cuts and bruises.
Akinleye was charged with dangerous driving, driving otherwise in accordance with a licence and failing to provide a specimen of breath for analysis.
He was sentenced at Minshull Street Crown Court on August 9 to 16 months in prison.
He was also disqualified for six years and eight months and ordered to take an extended test and pay a victim surcharge of £140.

Images released by police following the sentencing shows the extent of the damage to both vehicles.
Sgt Matt Picton, of GMP Traffic, says it is a miracle no one was killed.
He explained the taxi driver needed surgery on his ankle and is still recovering almost 12 months on.
"Dangerous drivers have no place on our roads and we will seek to prosecute at every opportunity," he said.
"It was a miracle no one was killed during this incident and we wish the victim in this case a speedy recovery.
"Driving a motor vehicle carries a huge responsibility that we all must take seriously, far too many people are killed or seriously injured daily.
"This sentence sends out a message that we will prosecute and the courts will deal robustly with those who pose the greatest risk, in this case a custodial sentence was appropriate."
