Brian Morrison was forced to dodge red lights and had to dial 999 from inside his new car after it started 'driving itself'.
A man says he was "kidnapped" by his new electric car that had malfunctioning breaks - forcing him to dodge red lights and crash into a police van to eventually stop.
Brian, from Glasgow, said that he was 'lucky' that the incident had taken place late at night at just after 10pm. Brian initially called his wife in a panic to ask her to warn cars ahead of him that he could not stop his car. After realising that he would soon have to navigate traffic lights and several roundabouts, and worried about crashing into pedestrians and pub-goers headed home, he eventually called 999.
Police initially tried having Brian throw his electronic key through their van window before driving off - but this failed to disengage the engine. After that, they tried to get Brian to forcibly shut off the engine by pressing the power button three times, which also failed.
