Wels: Trial against Raser after film-ready escape over 160 kilometres

A 30-year-old man from Germany is facing charges of attempted murder in Wels, Austria, after allegedly speeding through a police roadblock on the A25 motorway at 150 km/h toward a construction site where a worker was performing marking tasks. The incident led to a 160-kilometer pursuit by police, during which the accused reportedly tried to ram police vehicles multiple times. The prosecution claims he ignored warning signs and endangered the worker’s life, describing the event as 'as in Hollywood movies' due to the high speeds involved (up to 240 km/h). The defendant denies the attempted murder charge, claiming he was emotionally overwhelmed and fleeing due to financial stress. A psychological report supports his capacity for responsibility. The case includes additional charges of resisting authority, attempted serious bodily harm, and property damage.
