An eyewitness has described the shocking moment an Audi smashed into the back of a lorry before a window cleaning van was allegedly stolen at knifepoint minutes later. Police were called to junction 33 on the M6 following reports of a crash between a car and a lorry on Thursday.
Photos from the incident show the red Audi destroyed in the middle of the southbound carriageway.
A woman who told reporters that the Audi was being driven 'erratically' seconds before the crash said: "This must have been about 40 seconds after the crash when I stopped and the driver had just started to wander off."
