A woman who tried to run into moving traffic after crashing her car on the M53 was saved by an off-duty police officer.
As she was driving home in poor conditions on November 1, PC Stephanie Allinson, from Cheshire Police, saw a car in front of her crash into the central reservation at around 80mph before it spun into the live lanes. PC Allinson pulled over and went to help.
However, the driver "seemed hysterical" as she got out of the crashed car and it became clear to the officer that she was trying to take her own life, reports CheshireLive. As PC Allinson made contact with the control room, the woman tried to run into moving traffic, but she was stopped and restrained by the officer.
