Frightened road users alerted the police, who set up a full blockade on the highway. An off-duty policeman had followed the man in the other lane.


A 78-year-old drove more than ten kilometers in the wrong direction on Autobahn 40 in North Rhine-Westphalia.

According to the police, the man was out on Friday evening.

He drove in the direction of Bochum - but on the road in the direction of Venlo.

Several frightened road users alerted the police.

Fortunately, there were no injuries, as she announced on Sunday.

By chance, a police officer was also on the A40 in his free time.

“The officer drove parallel to the wrong-way driver, on the right lane.

He was always able to use his cell phone to tell where he was at the moment, ”the officers described the dramatic minutes.

At a junction in Bochum, the police finally set up a complete block.

That ended the ghost ride.

Criminal proceedings are now underway against the man.
