Faster than the police allow: car speeder escapes over the balcony!
A daring maneuver is making headlines: On Friday, January 31, 2025, a 20-year-old Hungarian raced through the foggy central area of Upper Austria at breathtaking speeds of up to 250 km/h. The driver ignored red lights and performed risky overtaking maneuvers that ultimately resulted in a crash with several stationary vehicles. In this dangerous incident, not only he and his passenger were injured, but also two police officers and an uninvolved road user. Also noteworthy: The driver did not have a valid driver's license, his car was not registered and the license plates were stolen, like NÖN.at reported.
The situation took a dramatic turn when the Wels public prosecutor ordered the man's arrest a few days later. On Wednesday, February 5, he tried to evade police by escaping over the balcony when officers rang his doorbell with an order to arrest him. But his attempt to escape was in vain: the task force to combat street crime (EGS) caught him a short time later and took him to the Wels prison. These cinematic scenes are the sad result of an unjustifiable frenzy that ended with several people injured 5min.at explained in detail.
The consequences are serious: the young man faces not only a prison sentence, but also further legal action due to his reckless driving and the resulting injuries to others. There is enormous public interest in such incidents as they shed light on the dangers of road traffic and the responsibility of all road users.
