Dramatic Police Chase in Zittau Ends with Arrest and Investigation
A 47-year-old man found himself at the centre of a high-speed police chase in Zittau, Germany, on Saturday afternoon. According to the Police Directorate of Görlitz, the man refused to stop when police tried to pull him over, instead speeding off and leading the authorities on a dangerous pursuit through the city streets.
The chase began after the man drove through a construction site, which is prohibited, and continued as he weaved through city streets, running two red lights and colliding with a police patrol car. The driver's actions put other road users at risk during the chase, but no specific information about the outcome or any injuries was provided in the statement.
The man refused to get out of the car and resisted arrest, but police managed to stop the vehicle after the chase. The driver was taken to the hospital for a blood test, and a drug test revealed positive results for amphetamines.
As a result of the police chase, the man's driver's license was revoked, and his driver's license and car keys were confiscated on the spot. The estimated damage caused during the chase is around 5,000 euros.
The 47-year-old is now being investigated for reckless driving, endangering traffic, resisting arrest, and driving under the influence of drugs. The specific location within Zittau where the construction site is located was not specified, and the name of the man involved in the incident is not provided in the available search results.
This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of obeying traffic laws and the potential consequences of driving under the influence of drugs. We urge all road users to prioritise safety and the wellbeing of others on the road.
