At 220 km/h on the A 2 – 20-year-old speeding driver arrested: driving license confiscated

There must have been some urgency: Friday evening around 22:30, a 20-year-old driver was driving on the A2 towards Graz. Near Großwilfersdorf (Hartberg-Fürstenfeld district), however, a police patrol noticed that he was driving considerably faster.

Forgot something at home
The police officers started the chase and were able to measure a speed of over 220 km/h with the help of video surveillance. They were able to arrest the 20-year-old at the Ilz junction. He confessed and said that he had forgotten something at home, which was why he was in such a hurry.
