The police shot the driver who fled in front of her on the D1 near Prague
Police spokesman Richard Hrdina informed about the Novinky case on Tuesday. The patrol noticed a Škoda Octavia passenger car, which was stolen in the database, on Monday around 10:30 pm on the D1 motorway near Prague, where the driver was ordered to stop for 4.5 kilometers.
“The driver drove to the gas station, braked, and immediately afterwards began to leave the patrol. Police officers were ready at the exit, blocking the exit and preparing to use the stop belt. The driver broke through the roadblock, at which point the police fired at the passing vehicle, but it was not possible to stop it, “the spokesman specified.
The pursuit continued along the D1 motorway to Mirošovice, about 20 kilometers away, where police officers finally managed to detain the driver using coercive means.
It soon turned out that the driver had a gunshot wound to the right upper limb, so the ambulance took him to the hospital for treatment. Then, according to a police spokesman, she took him to the service station.
