Rapid escape with a fatal risk: 20-year-old in court!

A spectacular incident caused excitement in Upper Austria: a 20-year-old driver is charged with attempted murder after having delivered a rapid chase with the police on the B1 at Wels-West on the night of January 31. According to sn.at , including his passenger, police and uninterrupted road users, suffered injuries.

The Hungarian, who lives in Linz, had been targeted by a civil patrol after driving over a locking line. Instead of stopping, he accelerated and raced with speeds of up to 250 km/h, ignored red traffic lights and carried out risky overtaking maneuvers, even over the breakdown strip. The situation escalated when the driver crashed into a roadblock from several standing cars at around 160 km/h, which makes the public prosecutor suspect in several cases suspect.

The background of the escape

A video documents the rapid chasing of the 20-year-old, who indicates that he was afraid of serious accidents. Nevertheless, he continued his dangerous journey so as not to lose his driver's license. This is considered negligent and irresponsible. The vehicle he was traveling with was also not registered, and the license plates came from his mother's car.

Another scandal resulted in when the driver escaped over the balcony of the police headquarters when he was arrested. But the joy lasted briefly: it was finally put again. In addition to the indictment of attempted murder, the public prosecutor also provides for documents and violations of the Weapons Act. A negotiation date has not yet been determined.

chase and their dangers

The dangerous effects of chase should not be underestimated. As a special form of urgency ride, a persecution hunt has a high risk of accidents, and the police are encouraged to minimize the dangers for uninvolved people. According to bussgeldkatalog.org it can occur in heavily frequented cities to be canceled.

In real life, the flight from the police is usually not punishable, unless crimes are committed during the chase, such as speed overruns or overrun red traffic lights. As a rule, the fleeing driver must also pay for the damage that arises during the persecution.

This case must be seen as a warning: a fast car and the urge to flee can quickly have fatal consequences. The indictment against the young man in Upper Austria could have far -reaching consequences and once again shows how risky the game can be with the law.
