Car insurance quote could be affected following accident
A female pensioner may find it difficult getting a cheap car insurance quote in the future after she was caught travelling the wrong way on the M6.
The 82-year-old escaped unharmed from the incident but one driver's car was left in need of repair after they swerved their vehicle to avoid hitting pensioner's car.
A police spokesperson said: "She's quite confused about what happened.
"We've established that she was trying to travel between Carlisle and Windermere and has somehow managed to make a wrong turn and has ended up coming back on the motorway."
A spokesperson for the women's motor insurance company CoverGirl Car Insurance Services commented: "It is extremely fortunate that no serious injuries resulted from this lady's error, as it could so easily have been so different.
"As it is, she faces the possibility of legal action, as well as a likely increase in the cost of car insurance quotes."
