A police car crashed during a pursuit near Krauchenwies in the Sigmaringen district of Baden-Württemberg, lightly injuring both officers inside. The damage amounted to several tens of thousands of euros, police said.
The incident began overnight on Saturday near Pfullendorf, where a patrol tried to stop a car. The driver initially slowed down, but then accelerated, forcing the officers to move aside. The driver fled, and the officers followed in their patrol car.
The police vehicle later left the road to the right in a left-hand bend and came to a stop in a field. Police said their current assessment found no evidence that another party caused the crash.
The fleeing driver was not apprehended. Police investigations are continuing.
