This is the heart-stopping moment an 'old lady' drove the WRONG WAY down the M6 - straight into oncoming traffic.Dashcam footage shows a red Ford Fiesta driving down a service station slip road in the wrong direction, straight into oncoming traffic on the M6 on Tuesday afternoon [November 18th].The woman left Welcome Break Corley, Warwickshire, at junction 3 and started travelling northbound on the southbound carriageway to the horror of other drivers.One driver can be seen frantically waving from his window as she drives over hatched road markings and continues past him.HGV driver Phil Smith said his first thought was 'what the f**k?' as he witnessed the incident near Corley services at 1.50pm.The 46-year-old said the driver 'clearly didn't know where she was going' in footage he caught on his dashcam.Phil, from Stockport, Greater Manchester, said: "I was overtaking another HGV when this car drove out of Corley services."My first reaction was, 'what the f**k?"I saw an old lady in the car and I thought 'she clearly does not know where she's going'."She might have gotten to 'that age'."I just think to myself, 'should you really be driving? Are you ill? Should you think about maybe not driving?'."National Highways said two HGVs formed a blockade to protect other drivers and that the car clipped one before coming to a stop. There were no reported injuries.
