A teenager drove away from the police near Årjäng in an A-tractor – at 180 kilometers per hour, writes Aftonbladet.
It was during the Friday afternoon that the police received an alert that motorists had seen an A-tractor, which is actually only allowed to drive at 30 kilometers per hour, traveling at speeds estimated at 140 kilometers per hour.
A police patrol that met the a-tractor turned around and started driving after the vehicle.
– Then the driver chose to increase the speed to completely extreme speeds. We estimate it at 180 kilometers per hour, says police spokesperson Lars Hedelin to Aftonbladet.
According to the police, the driver, a teenager over 15 years of age, eventually caught up with a car that he did not have time to weigh and hit that car from behind and ended up in the ditch.
The condition of the man who was traveling in the picture who was hit is unclear. However, the driver of the a-tractor should not have been injured. He is suspected of gross negligence in traffic and illegal driving. The A-tractor will be seized.
