Pursuit across the border
Streambed in Großgmain stops fleeing drunk driver
A wild chase from Bavaria to Salzburg ended for a 60-year-old German in a ditch. German and Austrian police officers were deployed. The drunk driver faces numerous penalties.
On Wednesday evening, German police officers stopped a 60-year-old car driver in the town of Bad Reichenhall (Bavaria). During the ongoing check, the German suddenly fled with his vehicle and attempted to submit to further checks. The officers took up the pursuit.
The 60-year-old disregarded several signals to stop and drove at excessive speed across the Bayrisch Gmain border crossing into Austrian territory. The German officers took up the pursuit on Salzburg soil.
Driver's license gone, several proceedings
A short time later, the fleeing driver skidded in his car on the Glanegger Straße (L237) between Großgmain and Grödig. The man left the road in his car and ended up in the bed of a stream.
The driver was able to free himself from the totally damaged car and remained uninjured. Further official action was taken by Austrian police officers who were called in. They determined that the driver had a breath alcohol content of 0.59 mg/l (1.18 per mille).
The German driver's license was temporarily confiscated and he was prohibited from continuing to drive. The small car was recovered by a towing company with the assistance of the Großgmain volunteer fire department.
In addition to administrative criminal proceedings in Austria, the 60-year-old must also expect criminal proceedings in Germany.
