Drug trip in Salzburg: Driver races through the city in a stolen car!

On February 24, 2025, a 24-year-old from Salzburg was driving under the influence of drugs in a risky state of intoxication. During his crazy maneuver on Peter-Pfenninger-Straße in the direction of Klessheimer Allee, he not only endangered himself, but also his 25-year-old passenger and countless passers-by. Suddenly the driver, who police said was under the influence of cocaine, increased the speed of his vehicle and lost control. The trip ended in a devastating crash into a concrete wall and later into another car driven by a 56-year-old Austrian Website fireworld.at reported.

The passenger tried desperately to stop the driver by applying the handbrake and reaching for the steering wheel, but his efforts were unsuccessful. The drunken driver and his passenger sustained unspecified injuries in the crash. Fortunately, the passers-by remained uninjured due to their quick reaction as they jumped out of the way in time. During the police check, shocking evidence of drug abuse was also discovered in the driver's vehicle: 66 grams of cannabis herb, a drug scale and some other tools that can be used for drug addiction, such as a knife. The police immediately secured them sn.at reported.
