A woman nearly crashed into police officers on the M60 after her husband was caught drink driving.
A Mercedes came to the attention of the police after crashing into the central barrier on the M60 on Monday afternoon.
After speaking with the driver, officers conducted a roadside test and he gave a reading of 125 milligrams of alcohol in 100ml of breath.
The legal driving limit is 35mg.
Shortly after, the driver’s wife arrived, having driven through a closed motorway lane indicated by a red ‘x’ sign and ‘fishtailing’ towards the officers.
She narrowly avoided seriously injuring those at the scene, police have said.
A picture of the scratched up Mercedes was posted on Twitter by the North West Motorway Police earlier today (April 26).
Alongside the photo, they said: “Vehicle crashed into central barrier on M60. Driver gave roadside reading of 125! Arrested by ME41.
