'It felt like Grand Theft Auto'
The driver of an £80,000 Jaguar I-Pace has spoken of the terrifying moment he realised his electric car had gone rogue as it raced down motorway before police rammed it.
"The speed was going towards about 100mph in the high 90s, going to 100. I thought this was a bit wrong. It came up on the dashboard saying there was a battery malfunction in my car. I kept trying to press the brakes but nothing was happening."Nathan added: "The car was in its own world - it just had no brakes. The worst thing about it is that it's happened before."
"I was hitting them at about 90mphs. I was still talking to the operator, and I was worried. I was thinking I could potentially kill myself hitting this police officer at 90, or I could kill him if he loses control." The Jaguar was finally brought to a stop when the miles on the car started running out. Mr Owen continued: "I had 10 miles, 5 miles and then it said on the screen zero miles stop the car and then the car started gently slowing down and going to zero."
