Man's terror as he calls 999 to get police to ram his car after it 'kidnaps' him

A man said he was 'kidnapped' by his own runaway electric car - forcing him to call the police.

Brian Morrison said his new motor started driving itself on Sunday (October 1), forcing him to dodge red lights and roundabouts. The 53-year-old had to dial 999 from inside the MG ZS EV fully-electric vehicle.

Brian said the brakes wouldn't work and the car became stuck driving at 30mph during a 'catastrophic malfunction'. Police were forced to forcibly stop the runaway car by allowing it to slowly crash into their police van.

Even after forcing the car to a halt, Brian said that the car tried to keep moving once police tried moving their vehicle. A roadside repair mechanic later said they had 'never seen' anything like the incident.

Brian, from Glasgow, Scotland, said that he was 'lucky' that the incident had taken place late at night at just after 10pm. He said: “I realised something was wrong when I was coming up to a roundabout, and went to slow down - but it didn't do it.

"Then I heard a loud grinding noise that sounded like brake pads - but because it was such a new car I knew it couldn't be a problem with them. I managed to get around roundabout going at about 30mph, and then had a long road ahead of me, so I assumed it would stop without me accelerating - but it didn't.

"I have mobility issues, so I couldn't even jump out - I was completely trapped inside the car going at 30mph. It might not sound like it is very fast, but when you have no control over the speed and you're completely stuck inside it's terrifying."
