Gran accidentally drives 300 miles to Scotland after taking wrong turn off

The 83 year old grandmother attended her hospital appointment which was 6 miles (10 minutes) from her house in Peopleton, a village near Worcester…

But she only stopped driving at 12:40am when she ran out of fuel in Larkhall after driving 8 hours from England to Scotland

Karen Maskell (her daughter), 49, told the Daily Record: “Mum’s next-door neighbour called me to say she hadn’t come back and he was worried. I thought she must have had an ­accident.”

However, Valerie had got caught up in a diversion caused by roadworks so she continued ­heading north on the M5 and the M6

“We called the police and by the time I got to her house, they said they had spotted her car on a traffic ­camera at Preston at 11pm.”

Karen couldn’t quite believe this: “I said it couldn’t be my mum because she hates driving, she doesn’t usually drive more than three miles.”

But after she continued to head north and the Scottish policed to get involved in order to locate the pensioner and get her on her way back home to her worried family
