A driver is said to have sped away from the police on Autobahn 93 near Rosenheim on Thursday at almost 300 kilometers per hour. When officers from the Raubling border police wanted to check him on Autobahn 8, the 48-year-old initially accelerated to around 220 kilometers per hour, the police said on Friday. Only 120 are allowed there.
Shortly thereafter, the man switched to the A93 towards Kufstein and raced through an 80 km/h zone at around 220 kilometers per hour. According to the police, the 48-year-old then accelerated to almost 300 kilometers per hour between the Brannenburg and Oberaudorf junctions – with the permitted 130. Immediately before the border with Austria, officials intercepted him and secured his car, which he said he himself said only recently bought. Now the 48-year-old is being investigated.
