A man says he was ''kidnapped'' by his own runaway electric car - forcing him to dodge red lights and roundabouts before police rammed it off the road.


Brian Morrison, 53, from Glasgow, had been heading home from work on Sunday when he says his new car decided to take control - and the brakes wouldn't work. Becoming stuck at 30mph he said the MG ZS EV fully electric vehicle suffered a ''catastrophic malfunction''.

Brian called 999 from inside the car and they finally brought the car to a halt by allowing it to slowly crash into their police van. Even after forcing the car to a stop, Brian said that the car tried to keep moving once police tried moving their vehicle.

A roadside repair mechanic later said they had 'never seen' anything like the incident. Brian said that he was 'lucky' that the incident had taken place late at night at just after 10pm

He said: "I realised something was wrong when I was coming up to a roundabout, and went to slow down - but it didn't do it. Then I heard a loud grinding noise that sounded like brake pads - but because it was such a new car I knew it couldn't be a problem with them.

"I managed to get around the roundabout going at about 30mph, and then had long road ahead of me, so I assumed it would stop without me accelerating - but it didn't. I have mobility issues, so I couldn't even jump out - I was completely trapped inside the car going at 30mph. It might not sound like it is very fast, but when you have no control over the speed and you're completely stuck inside it's terrifying."

Brian initially called his wife in a panic to ask her to warn cars ahead of him that he could not stop his car, reported WalesOnline. After realising that he would soon have to navigate traffic lights and several roundabouts, and worried about crashing into pedestrians and pub-goers headed home, he eventually called 999.
