A 24-year-old man tragically died in Vienna after fleeing from a police traffic stop.
During a routine check in Simmering, officers discovered a drug scale with residue in his car, prompting them to request a medical examination.
The driver, visibly nervous and aggressive, refused and sped off, dragging a police officer several meters in the process.
Despite the police pursuit, he lost them temporarily but was later spotted attempting an overtaking maneuver.
He collided head-on with a parked truck trailer, resulting in fatal injuries.
Emergency services had to use hydraulic tools to extract him from the wreckage, but he was pronounced dead at the scene.
