Driver Without a License Fled from Police in Wiener Neustadt

Officers from the Burgplatz police station wanted to subject the car, occupied by four people, to a check on Thursday around 1:15 a.m. The 21-year-old driver initially drove off towards Neunkirchen before returning to the Wiener Neustadt area and steering towards a patrol car during another attempt to stop him. "A collision could only be avoided by the officer's quick evasive maneuver," said the executive.

Later, when a patrol car pulled up next to the 21-year-old's vehicle, the Lower Austrian steered his car sideways into the service vehicle, damaging it. Shortly before 1:45 a.m., the fleeing driver was then stopped in Wiener Neustadt.

Speeds of Up to 200 km/h

During the chase, speeds of up to 160 km/h in the city area and up to 200 km/h in open areas were recorded. Additionally, the vehicle's lights were occasionally turned off on the 21-year-old's car. No one was injured.

The Lower Austrian is charged with attempted resistance to state authority, serious property damage, attempted serious bodily harm, and endangering physical safety. The various administrative offenses will be reported to the responsible district administrative authorities, it was emphasized.
