Fake arm causes chaos
A PLASTIC arm brought “chaos” to the M62 after drivers mistakenly reported it, thinking it was a human limb.
Officers closed the westbound side and the slip road by junction 6 at Tarbock Island, Merseyside, while they hunted for the “severed arm”.
They opened the road a few hours later, at 1630 BST, after receiving a call from two council workers who had spotted the forearm and removed it.
Police said it had caused “traffic chaos and a huge expense”.
The two council workers then took the arm to a local police station.
