The driver ran off the device for an as yet unknown reason. In his flight he also tried to drive some police cars off the track. The local police Mechelen-Willebroek immediately gave chase towards E19.
On the motorway it went fast towards Antwerp. There, speeds of up to 200 km / h were measured. Several police forces came to assistance, but the driver of the black Renault did not want to stop. At the Craeybeckx tunnel he took the Wilrijk exit, but just past the tunnel under the R11 the Antwerp police was already waiting for him with a nail mat.
The fleeing driver tried to avoid the police, but flew out of the corner and hit the crash barriers several times. The 24-year-old man was then run over and arrested. Why he fled is not yet clear. According to our information, no drugs were found in the car, although it is possible that he threw them away in his flight.
