On Saturday evening, Vorarlberg police officers carried out driver and vehicle checks as part of a traffic control operation. A 35-year-old driver would be arrested in Frastanz at 5:41 p.m. However, he sped away from the police, drove wrong-way onto the highway, made a U-turn and ultimately rammed five vehicles before he could be arrested. After the arrest, it turned out that the man did not have a driver’s license and was driving under the influence of drugs.
This evening was probably not the usual way, even for hardened police officers. A driver resisted an attempt to stop by accelerating and driving away from the officers at high speed. The man tried to avoid a police patrol that was chasing him at high speed and a number of extremely dangerous overtaking maneuvers.
The driver drove onto the highway as a wrong-way driver
In the area of Nenzing the driver threw something from the vehicle. He then drove onto the A14 as a wrong-way driver, endangering uninvolved road users.
Police vehicles rammed
The driver was eventually pursued by four police vehicles and was eventually slowed down. As a result, he tried to avoid being stopped by ramming the police vehicles several times. A traffic accident occurred between the five cars, resulting in the driver being eventually arrested at 5:52 p.m.
The rapid drug test was positive
Ultimately, the man was arrested without resistance. It turned out that the driver did not have a valid driver’s license. A rapid drug test came back positive. The driver’s car and three of the police vehicles involved were partially severely damaged in the accident.
