Tells Motorist To Do U-Turn On Expressway...So He
Does
Nancy, France
(AFP)
Nov 30, 2004
An elderly motorist driving along a
130-kilometre
(80-mile) an hour expressway in eastern France caused
an
accident when he followed the advice of his onboard
GPS computer - and made
a U-turn to drive into
the high-speed traffic. Police said the
hapless
78-year-old driver, who was not named, and the
occupants
of
the vehicle he ran into escaped unharmed from the
collision late Sunday,
but it could have been much
worse.
