GUARDIA Civil have intercepted a man caught travelling on the A-7 in an electric WHEELCHAIR. 

It came after several drivers phoned the 112 emergency line on Friday morning to report the daredevil for ‘risking a serious incident’ or crash.

The unnamed wheelchair user was seen driving on the busy motorway in the Mijas area, heading towards Marbella at around 8.40am.

He was travelling at around 10 km/hr.

According to Diario Sur, the individual was found by traffic cops at the Bil-Bil castle in Benalmadena, but as he was on the sidewalk by the time police arrived, he was not sanctioned.

It comes after Malaga police opened an investigation to find a man who was filmed repeatedly driving on motorways on a disability scooter.
