Officers reporting on the incident confirmed that the man had chosen to walk home along the motorway before deciding that a quick cat-nap was needed.


A spokesperson for the force said: "Just attended the M60 J7 following reports of a body on the motorway. Turned out to be a male who decided to use the M60 to walk home, got a little tired and decided to have a nap on the hard shoulder.

"TOR issued and removed from the motorway."
