Speeding away at 200
Linzer fled from the police despite being shot at
On June 10, a 35-year-old driver from Linz evaded a traffic check on the Innkreis highway near Meggenhofen. On the run, he sped along the highway and two main roads at 200 km/h. Even warning shots fired by the police did not stop him. Now the man from Linz is in custody after the wild chase.
The man, who has a criminal record, was noticed by a patrol of the immigration police because of his driving style. However, he ignored requests to stop. He stepped on the gas and initially sped off at 200 km/h in the direction of Suben. Near Aistersheim, he tried to hide in a parking lot along with his car, but failed.
Warning shots from the police
When the officers approached the vehicle, he drove back to the highway as a wrong-way driver. His escape then led him via federal highways - again at 200 km/h - to Grieskirchen, where he left the car in a dead end and ran away. When the police fired warning shots, he jumped over a railing about four to five meters down and landed in a railroad underpass.
Charges filed
A manhunt that day was unsuccessful. However, the man from Linz was tracked down and arrested on July 2. The public prosecutor's office in Wels has now filed charges of suppression of documents - the license plates were stolen - as well as resisting public authority, coercion and endangering physical safety. The penalty is up to four and a half years in prison.
