'We can confirm that following an investigation, a man has been arrested'
An arrest has been made following an incident last week in which police were scrambled to assist a driver whose brakes had failed on the M6.
Officers from Merseyside and Greater Manchester needed to use specialist tactics to ram the Jaguar I-PACE and block it between a number of police vehicles, to eventually bring the car to a stop. Pictures from the scene on March 6 show the black vehicle wedged in between two Matrix vehicles.
The statement confirmed that the man had been "taken into police custody to be questioned". It was previously reported that there were long delays on the motorway between J11 for Birchwood and J12 for Eccles after the police to had to help a driver whose electric car's brakes failed. In a statement, a Jaguar Land Rover spokesperson said: "Following a detailed investigation in partnership with the Merseyside Police and other authorities, we understand an individual has been arrested on suspicion of dangerous driving and causing a public nuisance, relating to the incident on the M62 on Wednesday, March 6th."
"JLR seeks to investigate all reports of issues relating to product safety and will continue to co-operate with Merseyside Police and the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency where required."
