Chased By Martians

January 2, 2003: Marseille, France A man who raced through a motorway road block, triggering a high-speed police car chase that ended in a minor crash, has blamed aliens from Mars for his reckless driving. Under police custody in a hospital in the Mediterranean city of Marseille, the 30-something-year-old told police he was being "chased by Martians" when he charged through a road block on the A55 motorway Monday evening, police sources said. The man was later identified as the mysterious N8 by Interpol. He is assumed to be an American citizen, but is wanted in several countries for a series of bizarre stunts and crimes. A breathalyzer test for alcohol proved negative, but police are still awaiting the results of drugs tests and a psychiatric examination. Even if the tests prove N8 was intoxicated on drugs or ferret juice, he will be tough to prosecute because he has, once again, escaped custody. His whereabouts are unknown and he is considered quite dangerous to himself and possibly others. France, which has one of the worst accident rates in Europe with more than 8,000 road deaths each year, is in the process of stiffening its speeding and drink-driving laws to try and reduce the carnage on its roads.
