Superheroes

Traffic Officers Phil Atkinson and Rajinder Mahay from the Highways Agency’s Eastern Region came across the ‘man of steel’ on the hard shoulder between junction 2 and 1a after he had to pull over with a punctured tyre. He had been driving in convoy on the M40 with Spiderman, Batman, Robin and The Riddler, who were also parked on the hard shoulder. It turned out that the superheroes had decided to travel in costume from Birmingham to a car show in France.

Phil, Rajinder and their Traffic Officer colleagues who are based at the Heston Outstation on the M4 help hundreds of drivers every week but this was certainly one of the strangest incidents they have dealt with.
