North Wales driver charged after ‘out of control’ electric Jaguar boxed in by police on M62

A North Wales man has been charged with dangerous driving after an incident involving an electric Jaguar on the M62. On the afternoon of Wednesday, March 6 last year officers from Merseyside Police's[1] roads policing unit were called to stop a Jaguar I-PACE safely on the eastbound carriageway of the M62. Police received a report that the vehicle was "out of control" and that the driver could not brake while travelling on the M58/M57 and M62 motorways.

Pictures from the scene at the time show the black vehicle wedged in between two Matrix vehicles from Merseyside Police[2] between J11 for Birchwood and J12 for Eccles. Merseyside Police have now released this statement. They said: "We have charged a man following an incident involving a black Jaguar I-PACE car on the M62 in March 2024.

"On the afternoon of Wednesday 6 March officers from the force's roads policing unit were called to help stop a vehicle safely on the eastbound carriageway..." Following an "extensive investigation" Nathan Owen, 32, of The Grove, Prestatyn[3], North Wales, was charged with dangerous driving, causing a public nuisance and two counts of fraud by false representation, the force added. He will appear in court on Wednesday 13 August.
