Drivers were hit with delays in part of Merseyside after it was reported two horses were running loose. Merseyside Police confirmed two horses are running loose on the M62[1] near Tarbock Island. Google traffic showed traffic queuing westbound from the main junction to Rainhill Stoops Interchange.

One person told the ECHO[2] "it's chaos" as traffic continued to build. Another person, who was a passenger in a car on the M62, said: "Everyone started slowing down and all the cars were trying to slow them down and direct them to the side which started to work for a bit but the police eventually got them up a slip road to safety."
