Dangerous scenes occurred on the Arlberg highway and the Inntal highway in the Tyrolean Oberland on Saturday evening: a 17-year-old German drove the wrong way in her car. Several attempts by the police to stop him failed. She rammed a patrol car and another car. When the woman was arrested, she was found to be disoriented and did not have a driver’s license.
Around 9:15 p.m., the National Transport Agency received a report that a car with a German license plate coming from Vorarlberg was driving on the S16, the Arlberg highway, towards Tyrol. With a “very wild” driving style.
Spectacular chase
“The car was eventually spotted by a highway police patrol in the Strenger tunnel area as a wrong-way driver traveling east,” the director said. The patrol immediately gave chase and tried to stop the 17-year-old German driver of the small car several times between the Pianner and Quadratscher tunnels.
There were dangerous scenes. “The driver rammed the police vehicle twice with her car to avoid being apprehended,” investigators said.
Too high speed, winding line
After the Perjen tunnel, the wrong-way driver switched back to the standard track and then drove on the S16 and therefore the A12, the Inntal highway.”at excessive speed and in winding lines in the direction of Imst”. In the meantime, extra police patrols were busy closing the Roppentunnel by turning the traffic lights to red.
Another accident involving a patrol car and a car
Due to this red light, an uninvolved driver stopped his car in the fast lane at the Imst exit. “The German therefore also had to stop her vehicle. She still tried to swerve to the right. “She rammed the patrol car again and crashed into the other driver’s car,” investigators continued.
Alcohol test negative, further investigation
The crazy ride was finally over. “The driver did not have a driver’s license and appeared very disoriented to officers after being stopped or appeared to be in a severely impaired condition,” the report said. An alcohol test performed was negative. However, the driver received medical treatment to clarify the reason for the apparent impairment. Further investigations are underway.
