Motorway police stop car being driven on metal wheel rim

A car being driven on a metal wheel rim has been stopped by police on a motorway.

The battered red Citroen also had severely damaged bodywork and was missing a headlight and a wing mirror when it was pulled over on the M60 Manchester Outer Ring Road.

Despite its condition, police said it was “not involved in an accident today” and the driver believed it was “acceptable” to be driven on the motorway.
