He took to the hard shoulder in an electric chair capable of speeds of 6-10 km/h (4-6mph), said a police spokeswoman in the town of Goerlitz. Drivers are said to have called the police, who intercepted the pensioner and took him back to his nursing home. The police spokeswoman explained that he had wanted to do a little shopping. "He wanted to go shopping at a service area up the road from his home," she said. |
