Drug-impaired driver fleeing police in Salzburg in decrepit van
In the city of Salzburg, a man in a severely deteriorated small van resisted a traffic control stop by police. The driver was under the influence of narcotics.
While fleeing from the officers, the man used the completely dilapidated vehicle. According to the Salzburger Nachrichten, it was a conspicuous vehicle that was obviously no longer roadworthy.
The police eventually managed to stop the man. Following a subsequent inspection, it emerged that the driver had consumed drugs. The exact circumstances of the pursuit and the identity of the man were not disclosed in detail by the investigating authorities at first.
The incident once again demonstrates how traffic participants acting under the influence of drugs endanger not only themselves but also other road users. The police initiated corresponding criminal proceedings.
