chase of a supposed smuggler leads to an accident in Vilshofen

A 24-year-old man who is suspected of illegally brought to the country caused an accident in Vilshofen during a chase with the police. The incident occurred during the "Donau on flames" festival and led to six injuries, including four.

The police in Passau reported that the driver tried to escape a police check and drove to Vilshofen at high speed. The chase stretched over more than 20 kilometers and finally ended with an accident in which the driver left the injured and fled on foot.

The injured people who were the audience of the festival were immediately taken to the hospital. The police found eight people of Turkish citizenship in the man's vehicle without the necessary entry documents.

The 24-year-old man was later arrested and is suspected of having illegally brought the people into the country. He must now be responsible for illegal entry and possibly serious bodily harm in court.

The police call on witnesses to report and provide further information about the incident. The investigation continues to clarify the exact course of the accident and the background of the illegal entry.
