Chaos erupted on the M6 northbound near Stafford as a suspected drink driver ploughed into multiple lorries, causing havoc before finally being stopped and arrested.
Early Morning Drama on the Motorway
Staffordshire’s Road Crime Team sprang into action early this morning. Their Team4RCT received several reports of a vehicle swerving dangerously along the M6. The driver didn’t just swerve — the car collided with several heavy goods vehicles, yet continued driving erratically despite the serious damage caused.

When police finally stopped the vehicle, the driver refused a roadside breath test. Arrested on the spot, they later blew a staggering 56 micrograms of alcohol in custody — way over the legal limit of 35. Arrested and facing serious charges, this dangerous drink driver caused a major motorway nightmare this morning.
