Speeders without a license: chase causes chaos in Wr. Neustadt!

A shocking incident in the Wr district. Neustadt is making headlines! A 34-year-old driver drove through the streets at excessive speed while trying to evade a police check. According to reports from noe.ORF.at When he fled, the driver not only had stolen license plates, but also did not have a valid driver's license. His reckless behavior forced at least 15 other road users to slow down to avoid collisions. Finally he was stopped in Wöllersdorf and arrested.

The driver has now appeared in court and was sentenced to twelve months' unconditional imprisonment. The judgment is not yet final, as announced by the court. In a similar wide range of traffic offenses, a 20-year-old driver in Wels is also being held responsible for being chased by the police. NÖN.at reports that the Wels public prosecutor's office is investigating multiple attempted murders.

The incident occurred on the night of January 31st and ended in a serious accident in which five people were injured. The alleged perpetrator admitted that during the chase he was afraid that serious or even fatal accidents could occur. However, he continued the dangerous drive out of concern that he would not be able to get his driver's license back, which had already been revoked. His trip ended in a crash caused by his risky driving style, and the public prosecutor sees this behavior as a conditional intent to kill.
