M58, M57, AND M62 MOTORWAYS BETWEEN LIVERPOOL AND MANCHESTER, JUL 07 – Nathan Owen faces charges including fraud after claiming an electrical fault caused brake failure in his Jaguar I-Pace during a 35-minute police pursuit reaching 100mph, officials said
- Nathan Owen, a 32-year-old resident of The Grove in Prestatyn, North Wales, has been formally accused of dangerous driving, creating a public nuisance, and committing two counts of fraud following an incident on the M62 motorway on March 6, 2024.
- The charges followed an extensive investigation after Owen reported via 999 that his black electric Jaguar I-PACE was out of control and its brakes failed while traveling on the M58, M57, and M62 motorways.
- Police from Merseyside and Greater Manchester vigorously pursued the vehicle, surrounding it for 35 minutes before safely boxing it in and causing two lanes to be closed during the operation.
- The vehicle reached speeds up to 100mph, and Owen expressed terror that he might not survive or could harm others while trapped inside the car during the uncontrolled drive.
- Owen is scheduled to attend the Liverpool, Knowsley, and St Helens court on Wednesday, August 13, 2024, where he will enter a plea of not guilty to all charges.
