Rapid escape in Ahrweiler: Quad driver escapes the police!
On Friday night there was a spectacular chase in the Ahrweiler district that kept the police on their toes. A quad driver fled during a general traffic stop and drove through several towns for ten minutes. As stern.de reports, the escape ultimately ended in a forest, where the driver had an accident and then fled on foot.
The Mayen police officers reported that the driver tried to distance himself from the situation on an unpaved forest path without being recognized. His quad bike was later discovered in an adjacent area. The police are now starting criminal proceedings because of a banned motor vehicle race. Even though the driver escaped, police are now looking for witnesses who can provide information about the incident.
A dangerous stunt
Such an escape is not without risk. Similar incidents involving quad bike riders show how easily serious accidents can occur. A tragic example occurred in Friedrichsdorf in 2018, when a young quad driver was seriously injured in a traffic accident. He collided with a female driver in a Fiat Punto and was thrown several meters through the air as a result of the impact, while the female driver suffered moderate injuries. According to [fnp.de]. A dramatic situation that shows how dangerous riding quads can be and how important safety is on our roads.
Rescue workers were also on duty at this incident. The Seulberg fire department provided first aid until the emergency services arrived. A total of 14 firefighters were on duty, which shows how seriously such accidents are taken. The accident site remained completely closed for some time so that all necessary measures could be carried out.
In the current case, however, the quad driver remains on the run. This raises questions not only about its safety, but also about the potential dangers it poses to other road users. It remains to be seen whether the police can find the witnesses they are looking for to locate the driver.
