Essex, England - A female driver in her 80s caused chaos when she drove the wrong way along the busy A13 in Essex.
The dual carriageway was shut for an hour on Monday afternoon after she drove a red Peugeot towards Southend - but on the London-bound stretch. Some cars were forced into the central barrier and one man needed treatment for neck and back injuries.
Sam Butt, 33, from Leigh, was one of those who needed to take evasive action. “I’d just changed into the left lane when ... all of a sudden in the right lane I could see this little old lady in her red car. She was driving without a worry in the world in the fast lane. In the rear view mirror I could see absolute carnage.
“A car swerved out of the way and went completely into the barrier and the next car did the same. About four cars must have crashed.”
The woman was taken to Basildon Hospital as a precaution.
