A suspect has been arrested on suspicion of drug driving after heading the wrong way down the M6 motorway.
Police were called to reports of a vehicle going "contra", a shorthand term used to say a driver is heading in the wrong direction for the road they're using, along the M6, with the vehicle heading north on the southbound carriageway.
When officers from the North West Motorway Policing Group reached the motorway and located the driver, they found the vehicle stopped in a "live lane", an open lane on the carriageway that could see the vehicle become a hazard for anyone travelling along the road.
