A man has been arrested after a suspected drink-driving crash on the motorway. A car crashed on the M62,[1] at junction 6, near Tarbock Island according to North West Motorway Police[2]. An image posted by the force shows a badly damaged car , however, it is not believed anyone was hurt in the incident.
