Nice drive if everyone goes the same way

Lausanne, Switzerland (GenevaLunch) – A 72-year-old woman had her driver’s license taken by police after she drove about 4 kilometres the wrong way on the A9 autoroute Sunday evening 28 February, in heavy traffic, near the Bex Nord junction. The woman, apparently in a confused state, hit another car and caused minor damage. Her own car had a flat front right tire. She then continued to drive along the road that heads towards Simplon, but going the other way, towards Lausanne, in the passing lane during heavy Sunday evening traffic.

She was stopped when several police vehicles intervened following several phone calls about the erratic driver, but only after causing some damage to a police car as well. Vaud police say it was fortunate no one was injured: radio announcements (Inforoute) about the driver helped alert others on the road.
