Ghost Driver in Electric Vehicle: Workers Intervened on A8 in Upper Austria

An 85-year-old man was driving his electric vehicle as a wrong-way driver on the A8 near Wels on Wednesday afternoon. He was traveling with his vehicle, which has a maximum speed of ten km/h, in the opposite direction on the passing lane next to the guardrails. Workers who were carrying out woodwork along the highway were able to stop him. The senior had apparently gotten lost and, according to the police, had asked for directions shortly before. The highway police took him home.
