The Driving Dead: Police stop zombie actors after M62 panic call

Motorway police were called to reports of a woman being assaulted in a car, only to find two 'zombies' on their way to an acting job.

A shocked passerby rang 999 on Sunday evening after seeing a ‘man biting a lady and assaulting her’ on the M62.

Traffic patrols were scrambled out at 6pm to find the car in question near junction 11 at Birchwood / Warrington.

But when they pulled the car over, it turned out to be two people wearing zombie make-up on their way to work as extras on a job.

She said the pair were happy to have their picture taken as it was such a bizarre incident. North West Motorway Police tweeted: “Report of female being assaulted on M62, vehicle stopped pair of extras making to a job - posing as Zombies - takes all sorts.”
