United KingdomAn image circulating on Facebook claimed to show migrants exiting a lorry on the M62 motorway, but investigations indicate it lacks credible evidence of authenticity. The image contains a SynthID watermark suggesting it was generated or edited using AI tools like those developed by OpenAI. While parts of the image appear consistent with sections of the M62 near Middleton, Greater Manchester, no verified records or credible sources confirm the event occurred on 11 June. National Highways confirmed no logs of such an incident, and no media outlets or social media posts corroborate the claim. Although police have previously stopped lorries on the M62 during immigration operations, this specific incident remains unverified.
Bias read (Center): The article presents findings from fact-checking efforts without overtly favoring one side. It highlights the lack of credible evidence supporting the claim while noting the possibility of AI involvement, without taking a stance on broader political issues related to migration or policing.
