Police Pursuit Concludes in Collision
Teenage Driver Involved in High-Speed Pursuit Under the Influence of Alcohol
On August 15, 2025, a dramatic incident unfolded on the A2 highway near Braunschweig, Germany. The incident began following an initial traffic incident on the A2, when a 17-year-old driver failed to stop as instructed by a civilian patrol of the highway police.
The suspect, driving a SUV, exited the A2 highway at the Helmstedt Ost interchange and continued on the B1 federal road. During the pursuit, the driver passed through several towns, ran a red light, and even drove into oncoming traffic. Despite these dangerous maneuvers, no other road users were endangered.
The incident reached its climax at 2:45 AM local time, when the SUV collided with a wall on the left side in a slight right curve. The impact severely damaged the SUV, making it unroadworthy. The driver, who was found to be under the influence of alcohol with a breathalyzer test showing a value of approximately 0.5 promille, was slightly injured and taken to a hospital for observation.
Despite his injuries, the suspect attempted to flee on foot, but was caught and arrested by the pursuing officers shortly thereafter. The name of the 17-year-old driver is not publicly available in the search results.
The Braunschweig Police Press Office can be contacted for further inquiries at 0531/476-3032, -3033, and -3034, via email at [email protected], or on their website at www.polizei-braunschweig.de.
The suspect now faces several criminal proceedings for illegal street racing and endangerment of traffic. This serves as a stark reminder of the dangers of reckless driving, especially under the influence of alcohol. Stay safe on the roads, drivers.
