A dramatic incident on the M62 motorway, specifically between J11 to 12, involved police forces from Merseyside, Cheshire, and Greater Manchester Police (GMP) implementing tactical maneuvers to safely halt an out-of-control electric Jaguar I-Pace. The vehicle, valued at £80k, experienced an electrical fault that rendered the driver unable to use the brakes, leading to a high-speed chase with speeds reaching up to 100mph. Lane 3 and 4 were closed to manage the situation. The driver recounted terrifying moments of swerving through traffic at speeds of approximately 90mph before police successfully intervened. This event marks not the first instance of such dangerous malfunctions with the Jaguar I-Pace, as it has been linked to a series of crashes and near misses due to sudden acceleration, brake failures, and electrical issues.
