25 Kilometer Ghost Ride: 80-Year-Old Stopped on A1 in Upper Austria

Even an accident could not stop him. The police later stopped the local senior on the passing lane, the authorities announced.

During his wrong-way drive towards Vienna, the pensioner was reported several times by oncoming car drivers via the police emergency call. There were also reportedly dangerous evasive maneuvers. In one of these, there was a crash, but the 80-year-old and the 54-year-old driver of the other car remained uninjured. When the elderly driver was finally pulled over by the police about one and a half kilometers from the accident site, he could not explain his wrong-way drive. According to the police, the 80-year-old likely missed an exit, exited the highway at Regau, turned around, and drove back in the wrong direction.
