A POLICE officer has revealed footage of him hauling a large engine from the middle of the motorway.
PC Martin Willis - who is also known as Motorway Martin on social media website Twitter - shared the video on Saturday, February 15.
It shows him dragging a large vehicle engine from the middle of the M62 carriageway to the side of the road (below).
One of those occasions when you really wish you'd put your waterproof pants on before it started raining! 🙈 This video also shows that we work as quickly as possible to open the motorway after an incident. Even by dragging an engine out of the carriageway!

All this was while it was pouring with rain.
One lane of the motorway is open, with a car driving past on the video.
