A driver, who was forced to drive his car into a police van to bring it to a stop, dialled 999 when the brakes failed on his MG ZS EV. Mr Morrison, from Glasgow, said he was heading home from work on Sunday night when he said his new electric car became stuck at 30mph on the A803 heading towards Kirkintilloch, near Glasgow. The car was just running away on its own, with Mr Morrison unable to do anything about it. With the car only travelling at a low-speed officers carried out a controlled halt with the aid of a police vehicle, officers decided to get him to crash into the back of their van before he got into a more built-up area. A statement from MG Motor UK said: “MG Motor UK has been urgently trying to make contact with Mr Morrison so that his vehicle can be fully inspected by our engineering team.
