Around 5pm ish near J13/14 from memory??

Car screams up in Lane 2 like a proper yob only for it and two or three others light themselves up with Blue lights everywhere boxing in a car in L3..... Really dramatic but in L3 of the packed M6, must have been quite a bad guy?? Looked very high risk to me with tons of scope for a multi car pile up?? Guess it was a serious wrong'un??

Anybody know anything?

Ps - never seen it in person before and brilliantly executed.... We were the last car that got through pre the stop as it happened right beside us.

It was all very dramatic and there didn't seem to be any sort of rolling road block building a buffer zone behind the stop. All three lanes were then effectively stopped but I guess the BiBs wouldn't want cars flying passed whilst they were running around splitting the donuts up between them. smile
