THIS is the horrifying moment an elderly person drives the wrong way down FOUR different motorways on a single day.

The 81-year-old man from Spain‘s capital Madrid caused multiple accidents during his chaotic spree and was later arrested.

Dashcam footage shows other drivers swerving into the next lane to avoid a head-on collision.

The unaware motorist can be seen driving down the fast lane – in the wrong direction – hugging the central reservation.

The driver abandoned directions at around 12:45pm on August 14, when he decided to make a U-turn at the toll on the M-12 motorway.

He then joined the M-11 going against the traffic.

After trundling on for 2.2 miles, the inevitable happened and he smashed into an oncoming car.

Both vehicles were damaged in the head-on collision, but the driver was apparently unphased and set off again.

Later on, around 6:25 pm, he entered the A-5, driving towards Madrid in lanes meant for traffic heading to Badajoz for around 6km.

One car was forced off the road by his oncoming vehicle, resulting in two minor injuries and damage to the vehicle.

At around 7:34 pm, he was detected driving the wrong way again – this time near kilometre 16 of the A-6 motorway.

Despite heading towards Madrid in lanes reserved for traffic to La Coruña, there were miraculously no accidents on this stretch.

M25 and M11 grind to a halt due to crash involving four vehicles and car fire with severe delays expected

Cops went round to this house last Tuesday with alleged evidence of his crazy spree.

The aging motorist is now facing four counts of reckless driving.

Authorities have requested an assessment to declare him unfit to drive, which could lead to the suspension of his licence.

One social media user vented: “Honestly, at this point, you might as well suggest him as Fernando Alonso’s teammate next season.

“What are all these older people thinking, putting everyone else’s lives at risk?

“And this isn’t even an isolated case. The driving age limits really need to be rethought.”
