Police give up 180km/h car chase as too dangerous

A driver was spotted by police travelling at an incredible speed of 154km per hour on Thursday on a stretch of road between Gonderange and Waldhof.

The police immediately gave chase but the offender appeared to have absolutely no intention of stopping once the blue flashing lights were visible, and increased speed further still.

The car was clocked by police at 180km per hour before police decided the situation was far too dangerous and took the decision to break off persuit in the notoriously dangerous road. The officers were of course able note the description of the vehicle.

However it seems that some drivers heed no warnings as this speeding incident happened on exactly the same stretch of road that claimed three lives in an accident earlier this week.
