Three 17-year-old men were in the car and two should have gotten out themselves and the third should have been helped out by the emergency services, according to Gothenburg Post.
– Around 19.10 the police initiate an attempt to stop a vehicle in the center of Älvängen. The driver refuses to stop and drives away along county road 1975, says Fredrik Flyberg, officer on duty at the police command center.
The pursuit continues for about five minutes before the car drives off the road and into a tree. The three men were taken to hospital, two by ambulance and the third by helicopter. According to Fredrik Flyberg, the injury situation for all three is said to be serious but stable.
A preliminary investigation has been launched into gross drunken driving, gross negligence in traffic, causing bodily harm, gross illegal driving and for not having stopped at a policeman’s sign.
