A vehicle on the opposite side of Highway 401 filmed an elderly woman driving the wrong way on the highway on Saturday afternoon near Kitchener.
“I think it was a confused woman – I don’t know the circumstances of it,” OPP Sgt. Kerry Schmidt said Sunday. “I know the vehicle was stopped and she was checked out by an ambulance and then taken back.”
No charges were laid, he said.
The video was shared on Facebook thousands of times by shocked observers.
But Schmidt says officers see people driving the wrong way on highways “more often than you think.”
“We get pretty regular calls – either drivers who are confused or impaired, getting on the highways when they’re not really knowing what’s going on,” he said.
