Persection hunt in Holzhausen: Driver escapes from the police

In the night of Friday, around 00:25 a.m., the police in Holzhausen an der Haide became aware of a black Mercedes with the SWA license plate. The vehicle, which moved from Naststätten in the direction of Holzhausen on the B 274, wanted to undergo a police patrol. But the driver ignored the antictions and the blue light of the police and looked for his salvation in flight by rattling away at a very excessive speed.

The subsequent persecution ran led through several districts, including Holzhausen a.d.H., Pohl and Singhofen. However, the situation became increasingly risky for the officials. Due to the extremely high speed with which the refugee was on the road, the police were forced to end the persecution so as not to endanger the safety of other road users.

drivers endanger other road users

During the persecution, oncoming road users were also put in danger. A situation in the roundabout at the output of Singhofen towards Nassau, in which the fleeting driver on the trail of a vehicle, which the roundabout was put into the gyro, was particularly critical. This dangerous action could have serious consequences and raises the question of what risks such escapes bring for general traffic safety.

The police have already dealt with the investigation immediately. The license plate of the viewed vehicle is known, which makes it easier to identify the driver. Nevertheless, there is a need for further information, in particular witnesses who may have observed the incident. A particularly important note could come from the driver of the other vehicle, which was involved in the roundabout. He is asked to contact the police in St. Goarshausen.

importance of police controls

Incident and this illustrate the challenges that the police are facing when it comes to ensuring traffic safety. Traffic controls are an integral part of police work in order to punish illegal behavior in road traffic. Ignoring indicating signals not only leads to a dangerous situation for the fleeing driver himself, but also for other road users.

No matter whether it is about speed violations or other traffic offenses, the police do everything possible to ensure security on the streets. This applies in particular in rural areas, where the streets are often narrower and the traffic density is lower, which makes such an escape even more dangerous.

An irresponsible behavior, as it was shown in this case, not only has legal consequences, but can also affect the trust of the population in traffic safety. The police remain vigilant and do everything possible to prevent similar incidents in the future.
