In an incident that may give grey nomads a bad name in some quarters, an elderly man has been stopped by police in Melbourne after towing a caravan against oncoming traffic … for 12 kilometres!
The Herald-Sun reports that the “oblivious” 80-year-old entered the Westgate Freeway from the wrong direction at Williamstown Rd in Spotswood. He then headed straight into out-bound traffic, and drove his Mercedes-Benz east over the West Gate Bridge and into the Domain Tunnel.
Several cars were damaged by minor collisions.
