Mother-of-one dies after driving wrong way down M4 motorway
A motorist has died after performing a U-turn to drive the wrong way down a busy motorway. An inquest heard that Anouska Paterson, 42, was on her way to a party before making the fatal manoeuvre.
Bank worker Paterson pulled her Audi A3 onto the hard shoulder between junctions 16 and 17 of the M4 motorway. She then turned her car around and began driving down the road – in the wrong direction of the fast lane.
