Big scare for motorists traveling on the A4 motorway between Metz and Saint-Avold early this Saturday, December 28. Shortly before 5 a.m., several users reported a car driving the wrong way. This had entered the expressway at the Argancy ramp, in the north-east of Metz. The driver, aged around thirty and drunk at the time of the incident, did not realize his mistake despite the flashing of headlights from motorists coming in front of him.

Sanef closed the Saint-Avold toll gate in the Strasbourg-Metz direction, while the gendarmes from the motorway platoon managed to intercept the individual. A complicated arrest: the suspect, who thought he was within his rights on the highway, continued to drive at 130 km/h, ignoring the injunctions of the police who told him to stop. It was finally near Longeville-lès-Saint-Avold that the gendarmes managed to get the vehicle stuck against the guardrail.
This Saturday, at the end of the morning, the thirty-year-old was still in the sobering up cell, waiting to be heard.
