Police forced to crash into car going wrong way

Traffic police had to crash into a car being driven at 50mph the wrong way down a motorway by a 77-year-old man with dementia.

Officers stopped the Honda Jazz on the M6 toll in the West Midlands after reports that it was heading south on the northbound carriageway, between junction T5 and T4.

The Central Motorway Police Group (CMPG) said the driver had dementia and had been reported missing by his family.
