Escape on the highway
Austrian man drags Swiss inspector along
A wild scene took place on Sunday evening at the Linkolnsberg rest area on the Swiss A1 freeway, less than 20 kilometers from Bregenz: When employees of the Federal Office for Customs and Border Security (BAZG) wanted to check a car driver, he initially stopped briefly, but then stepped on the gas and dragged one of the inspectors with him.
The BAZG employee had a stroke of luck: he was able to push himself away from the speeding vehicle and was only slightly injured in the incident. The BAZG employees not only took care of their colleague, but also immediately informed the St. Gallen cantonal emergency call center.
No further injuries
It was not long before the fugitive was discovered by a civilian patrol of the cantonal police. The officers took up the pursuit at the Rheineck highway exit. A few kilometers later, in the industrial area of the Swiss Lake Constance community of Staad, the police finally managed to stop the man.
However, this action was not entirely accident-free: the fugitive crashed his car into the police patrol vehicle. Fortunately, there were no other injuries. The driver, a 33-year-old Austrian living in the region, was arrested. He is likely to be in a lot of trouble in the new year.
