Motorcyclist (24) flees police control and is seriously injured

Police officers noticed a young man on a motorcycle in Bernau late on Saturday evening while patrolling the station passages.

The patrol officers decide to carry out a routine check of the driver and vehicle. They activate the stop signal and ask the motorcyclist to stop.

The man suddenly accelerates and races away. The officials immediately take up the pursuit. The motorcyclist tries to flee with daring driving maneuvers and shake off the police officers.

However, he loses control of his vehicle in a curve on a wet road and crashes over the green verge into a construction site on the side of the road. The man is catapulted from his machine and seriously injured. The injured come to the hospital.

According to initial investigations, the driver’s license should only have authorized the man to ride smaller motorcycles. In addition, the driver is said to have been drunk. The 24-year-old is now facing several reports and criminal proceedings. The motorcycle is a total loss and has been seized.
