During his attempt to escape, he raced through the local area at more than 100 km/h and sometimes through 30 speed zones.

Despite the support of three other police patrols, the driver initially managed to escape and the police lost sight of him in the Gleink area. A few minutes later, a patrol spotted him again in the Wolfernstrasse area and tried again to stop the man. When the man from Linz wanted to flee again, the police officers parked a patrol car across the road to force him to stop. The 36-year-old was able to escape again because he drove over the grass verge next to the road. He hit the patrol car that was parked across the street. He then raced back towards Garsten.

Police officer almost ran over

At the intersection of Lahrndorfer Straße/Sandbrücke, two patrols finally set up a total closure. The police officers left their vehicles, the 36-year-old raced towards them, was unable to brake in time and crashed his car into the guardrail. Just before he was hit by the car, a police officer was able to save himself by jumping over the guardrail. The officer was injured and had to be treated on an outpatient basis.

The 36-year-old from Linz was arrested. An alcohol test carried out showed a value of 0.68 per mille. The man is reported several times.
