A van has been taken off the road after police spotted it on the M55 near Blackpool.

Police said the broken van looked like ‘The Leaning Tower Of Pisa’, a monument in Italy known for its nearly four-degree lean.

The vehicle was stopped and found to have a broken leaf spring, causing it to lean. The vehicle has now been taken off the road.
