Dramatic chase in Zittau: Czechs seriously injured!

In the night of Sunday there was an illegal car race in Zittau that ended with serious injuries. The 18-year-old Czech and his 17-year-old passenger, also from the Czech Republic, had to be taken to the hospital after a dangerous maneuver. According to the police, the young driver of a Passat raced across the Outer Weberstrasse, overtook another vehicle and shook her Skoda shortly before an 18-year-old driver. He lost control, crashed into a traffic light and landed on a property.

Although the 18-year-old Czech originally wanted to take part in the race, she declined. The incident has triggered a police investigation to endanger road traffic, which shows how risky such races can be. The event reflects the dangers that can occur in illegal street races and brings the topic back into conversation on how such incidents should be dealt with.
