A PAIR of drunk cyclists wearing Santa hats were caught on the motorway today.

Officers escorted them off the M5 northbound carriageway after they were spotted between junction six, in Worcester, and junction five.

The Central Motorway Police Group (CMPG) described the incident as 'unbelievable' and said the cyclists were lucky that officers arrived before a crash took place.

The CMPG is now dealing with the two individuals.
