Brian Morrison was in for a surprise when his daily commute turned into a nightmare. His MG ZS electric vehicle (EV) malfunctioned, locking him in his car while it raced down the road. His brakes would not respond to his touch, and the car refused to slow down.
His quick wit led him to call the police, who cleared the road as his car continued on. Several methods were used to stop the EV. The only solution left to try was a controlled collision. They used the back of a moving van to gradually halt the runaway EV, telling Morrison to crash into the back of the van. They were successful. Technology failed this time, but good physics finally stopped the EV.
