Late on Monday evening, police officers in Vienna-Floridsdorf noticed a speeder who also stood out due to loud exhaust noises. When the officers attempted to stop the driver, he tried to flee. The risky drive ended in a traffic accident, in which four cars were damaged and the driver was injured.
The police officers noticed the car around 11 PM, which was coming from Siemensstraße and driving over Brünner Straße towards Frauenstiftgasse. When the officers attempted to stop the driver, he fled at speeds of at least 80 km/h through several streets. At the intersection of Jedlersdorfer Straße/Mitterhofergasse, the driver ignored a red light and continued his drive without braking. In Frauenstiftgasse, he eventually lost control of the vehicle and collided with several parked cars. The accident car and three other vehicles were damaged in the process.
The driver then also attempted to flee on foot but only made it as far as Baumergasse. There, he was stopped by police officers. The man is a 28-year-old Serbian national. He stated that he did not have a valid driving license.
Since he was slightly injured in the accident, the man was taken to a hospital under police escort. Due to an active entry ban, he was arrested. Additionally, a provisional security deposit was collected.
