Italian motorist covers 120 kilometers ... in wrong direction
0 Comments | AFP, January, 2008
ROME (AFP) — A septuagenarian drove some 120 kilometers (75 miles) down the wrong side of a motorway in northern Italy Sunday, terrifying other motorists, the ANSA news agency reported.
Police managed to stop the 71-year-old man, who seemed disoriented, with their second attempt, ANSA said.
Two officers were slightly injured in a first collision, after which the driver proceeded on his way, only to collide with another car a few kilometers later, causing no injuries.
The motorist, who was returning home to Modena from Bologna in the early hours of Sunday, gave police the impression that he was unaware that he was even on the motorway, ANSA said.
