Police investigating a terrifying road rage attack on the motorway in Eccles, have released CCTV.





At around midday on Wednesday 9 November 2016 police were called after two men in a lorry were attacked by a man in a pick-up truck on the M62 in Eccles.

The two vehicles had collided as they both accessed the M62 motorway from the anti-clockwise M60, and both had pulled onto the hard shoulder.

The two men got out of their lorry to swap details with the driver of the pick-up truck, however the man became abusive, then hit the driver before purposely reversing into the lorry.

The driver of the pick-up truck tried to get into the cabin of the lorry but when the driver and passenger locked themselves inside, he smashed the window with a spade.

We have already located the truck involved in the road rage incident, however we still don’t know who the driver was that day.

PC John Cavanagh from GMP’s Roads Policing Unit said: “This attack was unbelievable, and has been clearly captured on CCTV.

“Luckily neither of the men were seriously injured however they have been left terrified by the incident.

“The driver and passenger in the lorry were just trying to get on with their day’s work when they collided with the man in the pick-up truck, accidents happen and they were attempting to deal with the situation in an appropriate manner. No one could have anticipated the level of violence they would then fall victim to.

“I am appealing for anyone who may recognise the driver of the pick-up truck to get in touch as soon as possible. It was broad daylight and the man can be clearly seen, someone must know who he is.”

Well if they can't catch him with that video evidence I suggest the police retire.

That guy needs locking up for some considerable time.

This incident happened on the 9th Nov yet video only release today! Why does it take so long?

Look closely at the video it looks like the guy in yellow is trying to get his phone back of them after taking a picture of them,


strange how there are gaps in the cctv footage

yes I agree he is trying to get something back of one of the orange hi viz guys. No excuse at all for his actions though.ALL THREE want sorting out .....and if the police can't find the guy with the spade!!!!!!!!! they should be locked up too
