Police chase hits 250 kph

Monday, 15 February 2021 08:27

A stolen car reached speeds of 250 kph while being chased by police heading into the city of Bern on the A1 autoroute.

During the chase, in two separate collisions, police cars hit innocent vehicles. There were no serious injuries. 

The chase started just outside Solothurn on Saturday at about 7.30pm. 

Police managed to stop the car just outside the city heading towards Fribourg. 4 people in the car were arrested. The driver was found not to have a driving licence. 

While the police have not released any information - it seems the occupants are young as the cantonal youth prosecutor is investigating.
