Driver on drugs and alcohol flees police at 130 km/h in Germany

Police in Achern, Germany, pursued a 21-year-old driver who was allegedly under the influence of drugs and alcohol, reaching speeds of up to 130 kilometers per hour. The incident began when a patrol unit noticed the man driving at a significantly excessive speed.

Instead of stopping when signaled, the young driver ignored the police's instructions and sped away, disregarding the flashing lights and sirens. The high-speed chase continued until the driver eventually stopped his vehicle near a schoolyard, where he was apprehended by officers.

Upon being stopped, authorities detected a low blood alcohol level of approximately 0.25 permille. A preliminary drug test also indicated the presence of amphetamine and cannabis in his system. The driver was required to submit to a blood sample and now faces criminal proceedings. His driver's license was provisionally confiscated during the night.
