Drivers leave their cars to play football – after a traffic jam on an English motorway

Easter Sunday traffic has been disrupted on a motorway near Lancaster, England, after an accident - likely not minor.

It is an accident which reportedly blocked hundreds of cars and caused long traffic delays in the area.

The lanes were said to remain closed for hours and drivers should use alternative routes, police warned.


But what stood out in this situation was that people, namely drivers, found in such a situation, "turned the road into a picnic spot."

Some of them even found time to play football. /Telegraph/
