Elderly motorist forgot wife at service station
An elderly German motorist didn't realise he'd left his wife at a service station until he completed his journey an hour later.
The 75-year-old carried on driving down the motorway in Rhineland-Pfalz after he had stopped for a quick break at one of the country's motorway rest areas.
He only realised his wife was missing from the passenger seat as he was parking the car.
The abandoned woman was found by a passing motorist walking up and down the empty roadside car park in Platten trying to flag down help. She was taken to a local police station.
A police spokesman said: "Her husband rang later in the evening to ask if anybody had found his wife."
