A 'sparking' car was stopped on the motorway near Worcestershire.
West Mercia Police's road policing team spotted a vehicle driving along the M5 last night.
The vehicle was leaving behind a trail of sparks caused by an insecure exhaust making contact with the road.
It was stopped between J3 (Kidderminster/Birmingham) and J4 (Birmingham/Bromsgrove/Stourbridge) of the motorway.
