A man who was stopped for driving on the wrong side of the road in Catalonia was found to have a dead body in the front passenger seat.
Police made the grim discovery after the 66-year-old suddenly turned around at the checkpoint between Spain and France.
Investigators believe the deceased, an 88-year-old man, had been dead for about three weeks.
They say the driver may have been taking him home to Switzerland.
The body, believed to be the driver's partner, had started to decompose. It was covered with a blanket and was wearing a seatbelt, reports Spanish newspaper La Vanguardia.
