The incident was reported to the police by another driver, who witnessed a hit-and-run and followed the vehicle from Machtum to Wormeldange. A police patrol was waiting to intercept the car.
Officers stopped the motorist at a red light shortly after 2am. Upon inspection, it was discovered that the right-hand side wheels of the vehicle were completely destroyed, leaving the car to run on its rims.
The driver was asked to take an alcohol test, which returned a positive result. As a consequence, their driving licence was revoked, and the vehicle was seized.
