The Guardia Civil has arrested a seventy four year old man in Cartagena for dangerous driving on the AP-Seven motorway. He was reported for driving against traffic, which posed a serious risk to other road users. The incident unfolded in the early hours when traffic control received multiple calls about a vehicle moving in the wrong direction.

Traffic units were dispatched to assess the situation and managed to safely stop the offender at kilometre seven hundred ninety nine of the AP-Seven. Authorities took measures to reduce the risk to other vehicles on the motorway before apprehending the suspect.

Upon identification, the man was found to have driven in the wrong lane for twenty kilometres before being stopped. He allegedly refused to take a breathalyser test and now faces charges for two violations against road safety, including reckless driving.

Interestingly, this incident follows his arrest just three days earlier in Valencia for a similar offence of driving against traffic. The Policía is continuing its investigations into the suspect’s driving history.
