Parts of the M62 were plunged into chaos this evening after cars were seen driving on the "wrong side" of a slip road to avoid queuing traffic.
The M62 was closed at Tarbock Island both Westbound and Eastbound "as a precaution" due to an ongoing police incident while emergency services were at the scene. Merseyside Police urged motorists to avoid the area.
A spokesman for the force said: "At around 7.45pm officers received a report of a concern for safety of a man on a motorway bridge at the bottom of Windy Arbour, Junction 6." Huge queues were spotted in the area, as vehicles drove the "wrong way" on a slip road near junction 5.
