Tuesday, at 8:30 p.m., numerous calls from motorists to 17 indicate that a vehicle is traveling in the opposite direction on the A 11 motorway, coming from Paris and arriving in Nantes.
The vehicle is then at Carquefou, more precisely at the level of the bridge passing over the Erdre, police reported on Thursday.
Alerted, a crew of Orvault police officers quickly went to the area.
His intervention is extremely delicate.
The police activate the warning lights and position themselves voluntarily between the two lanes so that motorists do not pass them.
They slow down the flow of traffic like that.
The driver, a septuagenarian, was disoriented
They then see a vehicle, which has the dipped beam headlights on, driving opposite in their direction along the concrete slide in the left lane.
The police are positioned in front of the vehicle.
The latter stops.
The septuagenarian, originally from Chelles (Seine-et-Marne), seems completely disoriented and holds "very inconsistent words", according to the police.
She explains not knowing how she got to Nantes.
She was hospitalized.
