Law enforcement officials in Poland advise truck drivers to reduce their speed when pursuing suspects on the road
On Monday, September 1, 2025, an extraordinary event unfolded on the A2 highway near Braunschweig. Two brave truck drivers, one from Auetal and another from Arnstadt, played a significant role in a high-stakes chase that captured the attention of the region.
The incident began when a 53-year-old man decided to evade traffic control, endangering other road users. However, the truck drivers, showing great courage, recognised the pursuit situation in their rearview mirrors and made a decision to box in the recklessly driving car, all without endangering others.
Inspector Thomas Bodendiek, of the Braunschweig Police, commended the bravery of the two truck drivers. He considered their actions as civil courage and even went as far as to call them everyday heroes. Bodendiek further emphasised that no third parties were endangered during the chase.
Both truck drivers came forward after a witness appeal was launched on Monday. They communicated with an unknown colleague via radio during the chase, coordinating their braking to ensure safety. The truck driver from Auetal is 38 years old, while his counterpart from Arnstadt is 27.
The voices on social media criticising the actions of the truck drivers are diverse and not attributed to specific, publicly known individuals. These are generally private citizens, activists, journalists, and politicians expressing their opinions rather than formal representatives. However, Bodendiek believes the truck drivers did everything right and are not criminals. He even went as far as to say that anyone is entitled to detain a person who has become involved in a criminal offense.
Bodendiek expressed his praise and thanks on behalf of the Braunschweig Police. For further inquiries, contact the Braunschweig Police. The original content is from the Braunschweig Police, transmitted via news aktuell.
Thomas Bodendiek considers the truck drivers as everyday heroes who, in a moment of crisis, took action to ensure the safety of others on the road. Their actions serve as a reminder of the courage and quick thinking that can be found in ordinary people.
