Police follow fleeting drivers: Chaos in Lienz to Crash!

A dramatic incident occurred on Monday, February 3, 2025, in the municipal area of Lienz, when the police tried to stop a badly damaged vehicle. The 22-year-old Moldova driver ignored the anti-stop signals and raced towards Lienz at high speed. Despite the daring driving style, there was a collision with a police car, which continued to escalate the situation. After the impact, all seven occupants left the vehicle and disappeared in different directions. However, the police were able to quickly find five people, including the driver, while two other fleeting ones are still being sought, as reported on the website of gailtal-journal.at
