Bavaria: wrong-way driver for several kilometers on the A9 in oncoming traffic

Eichstätt (dpa / lby) - A wrong-way driver drove several kilometers in the wrong direction on Autobahn 9 in Upper Bavaria. The 83-year-old wanted to drive in the direction of Nuremberg, but drove in the wrong lane towards Munich between Denkendorf and the Köschinger Forst service area (Eichstätt district), the police said on Thursday. Only after a few kilometers did the man turn his vehicle on the freeway on Wednesday. The police temporarily blocked the A9 in the direction of Nuremberg completely and stopped the 83-year-old in a parking lot.
