Shortly after 9:00 AM this morning, the driver of a car with Italian license plates evaded the intended control by police officers of the Federal Police Inspectorate Saarbrücken near Goldene Bremm (A6 motorway). During the escape, he accelerated his vehicle to 200 kilometers per hour, disregarded existing speed limits, and nearly caused an accident. The car left the motorway at the Fechingen exit towards Brebach. The driver then stopped the vehicle on the open road and continued his flight on foot. The pursuing police officers quickly caught up with the Albanian national and took him into temporary custody. Fortunately, no one was harmed during the reckless action. The investigation is ongoing.
