A 22-year-old man was arrested while cycling along the M62 at Croft interchange in Warrington.
North West Motorway police announced that after “dozens of calls” about a man on a pedal bike between Junction 21A and Junction 22 of the M6, they attended the scene and located the man in question.
Police and highways discovered the cyclist was wanted for failing to appear at Crewe magistrates
court.
The motorway cyclist has since been arrested and is being taken to custody in Merseyside.
Whilst police have not yet released the original crime the man was required in court for, failing to appear in court is a separate crime itself for which the male will likely be charged.
