Rasender Mercedes ensures large police police on the A23!

In a dramatic chase on Monday evening, an unknown driver of a Mercedes on the Southeast Tangent (A23) in Vienna ensured a major contingent of the police. At around 6:15 p.m., the driver was reported by other road users due to ruthless driving style. While the police tried to stop the vehicle, the driver raced away at a very excessive speed, even through an already formed rescue alley. When the police were able to overtake and stop the black Mercedes, there was a dangerous situation: the escape accelerated again and raced directly towards the officials, whereby a police officer could only escape with a jump to the side, as vienna.at reported.

In the situation that followed, the officials who were in mortal danger gave at least 15 to 16 shots on the car -racing car to meet the tires and stop the driver. Despite this violent measure, the driver was able to escape and has been sought as fleeting since then. The vehicle was later discovered on Modencenterstrasse in the Landstrasse district, where eyewitnesses saw the driver fleeing the driver into an office complex. A large contingent of the police, including the unit of work Wega and service dogs, searched the building and its surroundings at night, but without success, according to the reports of W24

The incident caused great sensation due to the ruthless driving style and the use of firearms, although the police emphasize that it is not a classic “killing spree”. Rather, it was a situation in which the driver wanted to avoid a police check, which was extremely dangerous for everyone involved under the circumstances, as police spokesman Philipp Haßlinger clarified. The investigation that the State Criminal Police Office (LKA) leads to Vienna also includes the evaluation of video surveillance material in order to gain further information about the fleeting Mercedes and its driver.
