On Saturday afternoon, a couple travelling on Ontario’s Highway 401 near Kitchener were shocked when they spotted another vehicle on the other side of the highway. That wouldn’t have been anything out of the ordinary, but it was travelling the wrong way.

“Oh my god! Oh man,” the man says in a video obtained by Global News as the car in the other lane narrowly whizzes past a truck and trailer while driving on the shoulder of the wrong lane. “I’ve never seen anything like that in my life.”

The road conditions look terrible, and you can hear the couple’s genuine concern as they prepare to call the Ontario Provincial Police to report the woman.

“It looks like an elderly lady and she’s like driving very fast in like the right hand lane shoulder,” the woman in the video tells the dispatcher over the phone. “I don’t even know how she would’ve gotten on the highway like that.”

According to Global News, police were able to stop the driver “without incident,” and very luckily, no one was injured.
