Man 'on motorway in wheelchair'
German lorry drivers were shocked to find themselves sharing the
autobahn with an 80-year-old in a wheelchair, Reuters news agency
reports.

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.

Yeah, my father-in-law would go wandering and get lost in his last few
years with us. Thank goodness the german police caught the old guy
before he ambled out in traffic.
