Wild escape attempt in Ulm: Police catch driver after just six minutes!
An exciting chase between police and a driver took place in Ulm on June 17, 2025. At 6:09 p.m. the police wanted to check a vehicle on Stuttgarter Strasse that had apparently been lost to its owner. The driver, who has not yet been identified, was not impressed by the officers' signals to stop and accelerated at full speed.
The 18-year-old's escape first took him to Lehr before he then changed his direction of travel to the south. At a speed that pushed the police to their limits, he managed to escape for six minutes before finally coming to a stop in the allotments in the Lehrer Valley. The driver was arrested by police officers at 6:15 p.m. It remains unclear whether the car was actually stolen or whether it was a mishap that put the vehicle on the road without the owner's knowledge. The investigation is still ongoing and a decision will be made about further action against the driver, reports swp.de.
Another escape highlight in the region
Similar exciting scenes took place in Schelklingen and Erbach on the night of the same day. An 18-year-old driver chased the police on the B492 around 1 a.m. The officers also wanted to check the driver's BMW, but he ignored the stop signals and sped away in the direction of Ringingen.
The persecution extended across the towns of Erbach, Donaurieden, Bach and Dellmensingen. The driver reached speeds of up to 100 km/h, even in built-up areas. In the town of Dellmensingen, the police finally managed to stop the speeding driver. The driver reacted to his escape with another dangerous action: he tried to escape control by reversing, which seriously endangered several police officers.
During the subsequent check it turned out that the driver was probably under the influence of drugs and was driving without a driver's license. In addition, the vehicle was not registered and had false license plates. The driver is now faced with several legal consequences, which are being dealt with by the Laupheim traffic police. Fortunately, there was no danger to other road users during this pursuit schwaebische.de reported.
