A driver speeds away from a traffic stop in Chemnitz. When the police finally stop the car, the reason for the escape quickly becomes clear.

After a high-speed drive through Chemnitz, the police stopped a 16-year-old without a valid driving license. The officers had wanted to carry out a traffic check on the car at night, but the driver accelerated. He disregarded several red traffic lights and drove against the direction of travel, forcing several cars to take evasive action.

The teenager was finally stopped at the main railway station, the police added. Investigations are now underway into driving without a license, endangering road traffic and illegal motor vehicle racing. Witnesses and injured parties are being sought.
