A selfish driver was caught on dashcam weaving in and out of the hard shoulder to avoid tailbacks after Friday's serious crash on the M62.
The motorway was beleaguered by traffic after snowfall and a series of accidents - and while this driver was selfishly hogging the emergency lane, the air ambulance was attending a crash westbound between J23 at Outlane and J22 at Rishworth.
Queues stretched back past J27 at Gildersome, and this inconsiderate driver's actions were caught on camera near Ainley Top.
The motorist in a white Mercedes pushes in front of the dashcam driver into the left hand lane, then after a few minutes barges back out and speeds off up in the hard shoulder towards the scene of the accident between an MG ZR car and Scania HGV.
One driver was airlifted to hospital and firefighters are believed to have cut the roof off the MG to free the driver.
Both sides of the motorway were closed for the helicopter to land at around 2.30pm.

Police said the driver was not thought to have life threatening injuries.
Gary Webster, who captured the footage, said: "I only put the dashcam in last week because of a few near misses.
"It was impatient, potentially dangerous and a complete disregard for the highway code and emergency services. A selfish act just to gain a few minutes.
"I see things like this and worse almost daily. I got brake checked two weeks ago on the M60 by an impatient driver, so I ordered the camera that day. Only £50 and very useful in my Articulated HGV. Everyone should get one for peace of mind."
