A motorist whose 'out-of-control' Jaguar I-Pace had to be rammed off the road by police has been charged with fraud and dangerous driving. 

Nathan Owen, 32, was arrested by Merseyside Police in relation to the incident on the M62 on March 6.

Police raced to the motorway to help the vehicle safely stop after he called 999 saying the £80,000 car was 'out of control'. 

Owen also said he was unable to brake while speeding down the M58/M57 and M62 motorways. 

He was later arrested and taken into police custody to be questioned. 

Following a police probe, Mr Owen, of Prestatyn, north Wales, has been charged with dangerous driving, causing a public nuisance and two counts of fraud by false representation. 

He is due to appear in court on Wednesday August 13.
