A driver has been charged with fraud and dangerous driving after his ‘out of control’ Jaguar I-Pace had to be rammed off the M62 by police.
Nathan Owen, 32, was arrested following the incident on March 6, 2024, by Merseyside Police.
The driver had called the police while behind the wheel, saying that the brakes had failed on his electric car.
Officers from Merseyside and Greater Manchester had to block the ‘runaway’ car between a number of police vehicles, to bring it to a stop on the motorway.
Following a police investigation, Owen, of Prestatyn, north Wales, has been charged with dangerous driving, causing a public nuisance and two counts of fraud by false representation.
He is due to appear in court on Wednesday, August 13.
