High-Speed Chase Ends in Arrest: Unlicensed Driver Evades Police for 70km

A high-speed chase on the A5 highway between Hesse and Baden-Württemberg ended with the arrest of a 34-year-old driver. The pursuit, which lasted approximately 70 kilometers, involved multiple patrol cars from South Hesse and Baden-Württemberg police headquarters.

The chase began near Bickenbach when officers attempted to pull over the uninsured driver, who was later found to have no license. Instead of complying, the driver fled south at high speed. During the pursuit, the driver sideswiped a patrol car but continued without causing any injuries.

The driver, suspected of being under the influence of alcohol and drugs, was eventually stopped and arrested near the Kronau interchange in Karlsruhe. Despite the collision, the patrol car was able to continue, ensuring the safety of the officers involved.

The 34-year-old driver, who has not been identified, is now in custody and facing charges related to the chase, including driving under the influence and evading police. The incident serves as a reminder of the dangers posed by uninsured and unlicensed drivers, as well as the risks associated with driving under the influence.
