TERROR as Police Race to Stop Speeding Electric Car That Can't Brake
M62 TERROR as Police Swarm to Stop Speeding Electric Car That Can't Brake
An 'electrical fault' on an electrical car on the M62 stopped the car from being able to brake, forcing police to step in and causing heavy delays on the motorway and surrounding roads
MailOnline 7 MAR 2024
Police cars have swarmed the M62 to save a driver after their electric car suffered a terrifying 'electrical fault' that stopped it from being able to brake. SECOND time that car has had this problem
Officers from Merseyside Police and Greater Manchester Police used specialist tactics on Wednesday afternoon to ram the vehicle and block it between a number of police vehicles, to eventually bring the car to a stop, reports Manchester Evening News.
Pictures from the scene show the black vehicle wedged in between two Matrix vehicles from Merseyside Police. Long delays have since been reported on the M62 between Junction 11 and 12 due to lane closures.
Two lanes later reopened, with a further two closed, causing major delays of almost an hour and congestion backed up ahead of rush hour. North West Motorway Police said on social media: "Police currently have a lane 3 and 4 closure on M62 EB J11 to 12. This is following the use of tactics to stop an electric vehicle with an electric fault where the driver was unable to brake.
" Motorway officers from Merseyside, Cheshire and GMP brought the vehicle to a safe stop." Merseyside Police and Greater Manchester Police have been approached for comment.
