Parking Garage Drift Triggered Wild Chase with Drunk Driver

An intoxicated driver led the police on a wild chase between Pasching and Hörsching (district of Linz-Land) on the night of Saturday. During the chase, he sped through a 70 km/h zone at a minimum of 175 km/h, according to the state police department. The fence of a company premises eventually stopped the 23-year-old from Linz. A breathalyzer test showed a blood alcohol level of 0.7 per mille.

Fence Stopped Escape: 23-Year-Old Arrested

A police patrol became aware of the Linz resident because he was drifting with his car in the exit spiral of the parking garage at the Plus City shopping center. The driver then ignored the police car's blue lights and siren and sped away at a greatly excessive speed. On the B1, he ran a red light at an intersection twice.

In Hörsching, the 23-year-old drove his vehicle onto a company premises, where he could go no further due to a fence. He attempted to flee on foot but was stopped by the police officers.
