If you thought you had an eventful few hours on your commute before work this morning, spare a thought for this mum who gave birth on the side of a motorway.
The unnamed woman was discovered by a Greater Manchester Police patrol just moments after her little boy was born on the M60 in the early hours.
North West Motorway Police tweeted at about 2.30am that the officers had spotted a vehicle on the hard shoulder and had gone to take a closer look.
“Upon closer inspection was greeted with a female just given birth, Ambulance now on scene, first reports are mum and baby doing fine, #newbabyjoy,” they tweeted.
The account later revealed that the baby had been named Luke, adding: “May the force be with them”.
