A civil patrol of the state traffic department noticed two motorcyclists on Monday evening who were traveling the A23 northbound at greatly excessive speeds. There were several dangerous overtaking maneuvers.

Despite repeated stop signals, the motorcyclists attempted to evade a check and left the highway. On Breitenleer Straße, a calibrated video system in the patrol vehicle recorded a speed of 123 km/h. The fugitives ran several red lights and split up to make the pursuit more difficult.

Motorcyclist raced at 195 km/h on country roads

Additional police patrols joined the pursuit. Nevertheless, the officers managed to continue the pursuit of one of the riders. This led through Raasdorf and Pysdorf, where the fugitive eventually crashed on a gravel road. The 27-year-old was uninjured. During the escape, peak speeds of 152 km/h in various towns and 195 km/h on country roads were recorded. The motorcycle was temporarily seized and the 27-year-old's driver's license was temporarily revoked. The 27-year-old claimed not to have seen the stop signals. He was reported for more than 30 violations. The second fugitive rider, a 24-year-old, was identified and turned himself in at a police station in Vienna. Several reports were filed. The official driver's license revocation and the seizure of the motorcycle were suggested.
