Quirky World ... Tractor seized after jaunt on busy motorway
The Central Motorway Police Group said the bright red tractor was spotted travelling at “low speed” on the southbound carriageway of the M6 near Birmingham in the West Midlands at about 5.25am. Tractors are banned from using the motorway.
Police said they “received a few calls” about the tractor as it was driven between spaghetti junction in Birmingham and junction 5, with concerned motorists “shocked and worried that the slow nature of the tractor could create a hazard”.
