German cops have nabbed a so-called ghost driver who travelled the wrong way down a motorway for an incredible 10 miles because his navigation system told him it was OK.

According to police, two people were in the car and failed to notice anything was wrong as they drove the wrong way on the motorway through the city of Suhl, the smallest of the six urban districts in the German state Thuringia.

The driver blindly trusted his GPS as he travelled between the city of Meiningen and the Suhl triangle in the wrong direction on the motorway.

He was also reportedly driving at high speed and would probably have continued driving in the wrong lane if the police had not stopped him.

Reports said the motorist drove around 15 kilometres (10 miles) without noticing before he was finally stopped by two patrol cars in the Berg Bock tunnel near Suhl.

The 24-year-old driver blamed the GPS device for their incorrect driving.

Fortunately, nobody was injured during the dangerous journey.

Investigators from the Thuringia Police Department are looking into possible consequences of the wrong way trip.
