The speeding groom was pulled over on the M4 in Wiltshire

A groom heading to his wedding was pulled over by traffic police who caught him speeding at 121mph on a motorway.

Wiltshire Police Special Ops tweeted "usually, the bride is always late" but the wedding-bound driver had "some explaining to do" after being pulled over on the M4 in his silver BMW.

"A rear nearside tyre with cord exposed topped this stop off," the force added.

The speeding groom will appear in court at a date to be confirmed.

Wiltshire Police confirmed that members of the wedding party later collected the groom to take him to his ceremony.
