traffic - Police catch driver apparently engaging in illegal racing
Two young drivers allegedly engaged in an illegal race on the A7 motorway near Rosdorf. The 22-year-old and the 23-year-old were observed exhibiting conspicuous driving behaviors between the Lutterberg interchange and the Drammetal junction, according to the Police.
They reportedly drove at significantly higher speeds, for instance, through a construction zone. Additionally, they frequently overtook each other and other traffic participants on the right side.
The 23-year-old was eventually stopped on an autobahn rest area. His younger opponent was controlled only a little later at a rest stop. An investigation is ongoing against both individuals. The Police are looking for witnesses who observed the incident around early Thursday evening.
