A dad has told of his horror after being trapped in the wreckage of his van for two hours. Michael Radford, 39, 'woke up crushed' in his vehicle which was sandwiched between two heavy goods vehicles following the major crash on the M56 near junction 10 in April.
The father of three said firefighters 'thought he was dead' after the horrific smash, which happened while he queued in standstill traffic after missing his exit on his drive home. Ever since, he has questioned how he made it out alive.
Michael was rescued from the wreckage, captured in dramatic photos, before being airlifted to hospital. He suffered a fractured spine, several broken ribs and an eye injury.
