A MAN says he was ''kidnapped'' by his own runaway electric car - forcing him to dodge red lights and roundabouts and call police to ram it off the road.
Brian called the police who 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 says that the car tried to keep moving once police tried moving their vehicle.Brian, from Glasgow, said that he was 'lucky' that the incident had taken place late at night at just after 10pm.
"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." After that, they tried to get Brian to forcibly shut off the engine by pressing the power button three times, which also failed.Police then decided to get Brian to crash into the back of their van before he got into a more built-up area.
"I still have no idea what happened, but when the RAC got to me about three hours later he plugged in the car to do a diagnostic check and there were pages of faults.
