Watch moment drivers cool off when ice cream van opens up shop on Yorkshire motorway

Hot and bothered motorists caught up in a traffic jam were able to cool off - when they found themselves stranded next to an ice cream van.

Tony Randhawa, 32, was driving back home to Washington, Newcastle, on the M18 in Yorkshire after a family get-together in Coventry, West Midlands, when the motorway came to a standstill.

He and his partner, Sonya Azam, 27, still had over 100 miles to go when they became stuck inside their red Volkswagen in scorching 30-degree heat due to a accident further up the road.

That's when a couple of cars down he saw an ice cream van and decided to ask if he would be willing to open up shop.
