‘Busy’ driver dumps their car on m-way
A MOTORIST left their broken-down car on a busy motorway because “they had somewhere to be”.
The vehicle was abandoned on the southbound M1 between junctions 35 and 34 near Sheffield’s Meadowhall shopping centre at 11am yesterday.
Highways England officers took to Twitter to highlight the incident, saying: “Broken down car in lane 1. The owner abandoned it telling us they had just left it there as they had somewhere to be.”
The car was removed and the carriageway reopened 45 minutes later.
Officers said the car would be locked in a compound and the owner would have to cough up.
They said: “The owner will collect the bill for this to get the vehicle back.”
