Miraculously, he was found safe and sound with no injuries. An 83-year-old man, domiciled in the agglomeration of Le Mans, traveled about 85 km in the wrong direction on the A11 motorway, during the night from Friday to Saturday, reports the newspaper West France. The disappearance of this octogenarian, suffering from Alzheimer’s disease, had been reported a few hours earlier by members of his family, worried.
At the wheel of his car, the man had in fact gone to Eure-et-Loir before taking back the direction of Le Mans. The wrong way on the highway, he drove for about an hour, as reported by four motorists alarmed by the situation. He was finally intercepted shortly before 2 am by motorcyclists from the gendarmerie, near La Ferté-Bernard.
