Driver of 100mph ‘Rogue’ Electric Car Charged with Driving Offence
- Nathan Owen, a 32-year-old resident of The Grove in Prestatyn, North Wales, has been formally accused of dangerous driving, creating a public disturbance, and committing two offenses of fraud following an event on the M62 motorway on March 6, 2024.
- The charges come after a thorough investigation was launched when Owen contacted authorities to report that his black Jaguar I-PACE was malfunctioning, preventing him from slowing down while driving on the M58, M57, and M62 motorways.
- Police launched an urgent operation involving Merseyside and Greater Manchester officers who boxed in the car for 35 minutes and brought it to a safe stop on the M62's eastbound carriageway.
- Owen reported fearing for his life and the safety of others as his vehicle accelerated to nearly 100mph due to what he described as an "electrical fault" that caused the brakes to fail, resulting in the closure of two motorway lanes.
- Nathan Owen is scheduled to attend a hearing at the Liverpool, Knowsley, and St Helens court on Wednesday, August 13, 2024, in relation to his case following the police investigation.
