Young people from Bauska got into serious trouble after speeding and attempting to flee from the police. The driver was a 19-year-old guy who will now have to earn money to pay the fine of several thousand euros.
In a BMW, a 19-year-old driver was driving his peer and two minors, and there were girls in the company. The violation of the law began when he got behind the wheel — at that moment he was deprived of his driving rights as part of a criminal process, reports the show Degpunktā (TV3).
Municipal police noticed the BMW X5 in Rītausma, where the car was moving through the settlement at a speed of about 85 km/h. The driver had no intention of stopping and began to evade the pursuit. From Rītausma, he entered Bauska but soon changed his route.
Driving both in the middle of the road and veering into the oncoming lane, the young man reached Pamuša. Next was the village of Musa, where it can be seen that a girl sitting in the back, probably unbuckled, turns around and takes a picture of the police car.
Clearly, none of those in the car took the situation seriously. From the small rural roads, the BMW emerged onto the Bauska–Uzvara road, where law enforcement attempted to ram the vehicle. After this, the group turned right and drove into a field, where the road ended at a stream.
At that point, the driver realized there was no way out and stopped — although he should have done so much earlier.
The BMW belongs to his sister, and among the passengers was the driver's brother. All three passengers were taken to the hospital to check for injuries resulting from the incident.
"In terms of administrative processes, 10 cases of administrative offenses have been initiated, and the total amount of fines is approximately 9 thousand euros," noted the head of the Bauska municipal police, Reinis Ikauņieks.
