A quick-thinking ice-cream van driver brought relief to motorists stuck on the M62 by selling 99s and lollies during a traffic jam.
A seven-mile tailback became an unlikely business opportunity for the business owner, although it is not clear whether they deliberately sent the van out to the motorway, or if it was already caught in the traffic when the driver decided to cash in on the captive audience.
Delighted drivers took to social media to share images of their cooling refreshments in the hot weather, with some showing a large number of customers leaving their vehicles to join the queue for ice-creams.
