Firefighters thought a dad was dead after he was trapped in crash wreckage for two hours.
Michael Radford, 39, from St Helens, "woke up crushed" in his van, which was stuck between two heavy goods vehicles after a crash near junction 10 on the M56 eastbound in April. Michael, a dad of three, said that firefighters believed he was dead after the incident and he has questioned how he made it out alive ever since.
After the crash, he was cut from the wreckage and airlifted to Aintree Hospital. Michael, a water mains engineer, suffered a fractured spine, several broken ribs and an eye injury.
