A family of five were forced to endure a 12-hour nightmare after breaking down on a motorway in 32 degree heat. Fahd Darr and his wife and three children were left stranded beside the M3 on Monday as they drove home to Manchester following a weekend in London.
Despite phoning RAC, they were forced to wait in Mr Darr's boiling hot BMW for hours before help arrived. The situation left Mr Darr's autistic son, Azlaan, so distressed that he began biting and scratching himself, and trying to jump out of the car.
Assistance eventually arrived at 6.15pm - four hours after the family first called for help. But the ordeal did not end there as they were then "dumped" at a service station for two hours before arriving home by taxi at 2am.
