A motorist who picked up two passengers at Luxembourg’s Findel Airport was involved in a car chase in Germany on Thursday, according to reports.
The incident began when the driver evaded a police checkpoint at the Franco-German border on the urban motorway 620 near Saarbrücken. German media outlet NTV reported that the driver had collected two individuals at Findel Airport before heading toward Germany.
After initially pretending to slow down at the border, the driver suddenly accelerated onto the motorway, nearly striking a police officer during the evasion attempt. A high-speed chase ensued, with the driver running red lights and triggering speed cameras as they led authorities to Friedrichsthal, approximately 15 kilometres from the border.
The pursuit ended when the car, which was registered in Portugal, crashed into a concrete wall. The driver fled on foot into a nearby forest and remains at large, according to German authorities. The two passengers, however, were apprehended and revealed that they had been picked up at Findel Airport on their way to France.
