The Channel 5 show 'The Motorway' showed the moment a vehicle lost control and was spread across two live lanes on the M62.
The crash happened near Bradford, by Junction 26. In the Leeds control room, a truck with a trailer was spotted facing the wrong way in the hard shoulder. CCTV footage showed it had suddenly spun out and crashed, blocking two lanes in the process.
This put the truck, with a van on its trailer, in direct danger and so emergency signs along the M62 were activated. It had somehow missed all the nearby vehicles while spinning wildly out of control, meaning a much larger crash had narrowly been avoided.
