A suspected drink-driver abandoned his car on the M60 after a crash and decided to 'go for a walk'.
The driver of the severely damaged VW Golf then told gob-smacked motorway officers: "I've not hit anything."
The drama happened at junction 5 of the M60 where it meets the Princess Parkway on south Manchester on Saturday night.

The driver was arrested on suspicion of drink-driving and remains in police custody for question.
North West Motorway Police shared details of the incident on their Facebook page, including a picture of the severely damaged VW Golf which appeared to have damage to its nearside.
The image showed a crumpled front passenger door and a front tyre which appeared to have been completely removed.
The post said: "The drunk driver of this vehicle decided to stop at J5 #M60 & go for a walk.
"Driver stopped by #ME18 & stated “I’ve got 2x flat tyres, I’ve not hit anything”.
"Damage to his vehicle said otherwise. Driver arrested & provided an evidential sample of 62 in custody."
Yesterday Greater Manchester Police shared an image of a wrecked Toyota Yaris following a crash in Middleton involving an alleged drug-driver.
The picture showed what was left of the Yaris following a collision at Slattocks Link, in Middleton, off the A627M.
According to a spokesperson for GMP, the car rolled 'several times' at the end of the link road, before ending up landing on Whitbrook Way.
But, GMP said, after providing a positive test sample for cocaine in a drugs test, the driver was arrested by officers.
