Dangerous Misadventure on the A38: The Unregistered Wrong-Way Driver
Last Friday, a 57-year-old individual from the northern Saale district tragically ended their life while causing the demise of two women after a high-speed chase as a wrong-way driver on the A38 in Saxony-Anhalt. The calamitous crash occurred near the Querfurt and Eisleben junction, leaving a 34-year-old and 41-year-old passenger dead, with the 38-year-old male survivor still receiving inpatient treatment.
Police records show that the 57-year-old was driving an unregistered vehicle with falsified license plates before fleeing from the authorities in Staßfurt. While the authorities are still examining the case, they are inquisitive about why the car traversed such a distance on that fateful morning.
