Drivers swerve as articulated lorry travels WRONG way on M42

Drivers were forced to swerve when an articulated lorry drove down the motorway on the wrong side of the carriageway.

The incident happened earlier today on the M42 northbound near the M6 link, then between junctions 7 and 6.

Vehicles narrowly avoided the rogue truck as it travelled in the opposite direction on the stretch of northbound motorway.

The UK-based lorry driver was halted by motorway police, arrested and charged with dangerous driving to appear in court at a later date.
