A dad-of-two feared him and his family would become "fatalities" when their car suddenly went into "limp mode" on the M6.
Stuart Corrigan, 46, a dad-of-two from Haydock, St Helens, said he was driving his family home from his son's football game in Wolverhampton late on Tuesday, November 9 last year when his car, a KIA Sportage, went into "limp mode." Stuart said the car "completely shut down," leaving him, his wife and their two kids stranded on the smart motorway without any of the car's systems working, including the lights.
Stuart said the car managed to limp into a recovery bay, and using the phone there the family managed to call the AA to have the car taken off the roadside, and as far as Knutsford services where the car was left until the family upgraded their recovery service. Stuart then called a taxi for his family, all the way home to Haydock.
