Teen Without Driver's License Fled from Police: Car Ended Up in Stream

In Prinzersdorf (St. Pölten district), he collided with a patrol car. The teenager's car had to be recovered from a creek. According to the police, the 17-year-old and his co-driver of the same age are being reported.

The car, in which the two St. Pölten residents were, sideswiped an oncoming car on the L5100, damaging the side mirrors. The 17-year-old continued driving without stopping. Witnesses informed the police. During a search, the crew of an unmarked patrol car noticed the vehicle, which had stolen license plates, in St. Pölten and pursued the car with sirens and blue lights. The teenager continued his journey undeterred. He sped at about 120 km/h over the Schießstattring, drove several times against the prescribed direction of travel, and ignored a red light, the police announced in a statement on Monday. Several patrols were involved.

Wild Police Chase

According to reports, the driver evaded an attempt to stop him with a "risky maneuver" before driving on the B1 to Prinzersdorf. At the intersection with Bahnstraße, he tried to push a police patrol aside, resulting in a side collision. The 17-year-old continued into a field and a cornfield. The authorities attempted to reach the car via field paths. Eventually, the two fugitives approached a police patrol. They were temporarily arrested. The getaway car had to be recovered from the Kremnitzbach by the fire department. The two 17-year-olds will be reported to the St. Pölten public prosecutor's office and the responsible district administrative authority after the investigation is completed.
