A7 Police Chase Ends in Derneburg Rollover That Seriously Injures Driver

Police have opened an investigation into why the 29-year-old fled a traffic stop.

Overview

  • Officers first clocked the VW Golf at 121 km/h in a 70 km/h zone on the A7 feeder near Bockenem and attempted a stop.
  • The driver ignored signals and fled more than 50 kilometers via the B243 through Rhüden to Seesen, where police briefly lost sight of the car.
  • Pursuit tactics were adjusted for safety, and the vehicle was later located entering the A7 toward Hannover at speeds exceeding 200 km/h.
  • At the Derneburg junction the driver lost control, the car rolled over and came to rest on its roof, and she was hospitalized with serious but non-life-threatening injuries.
  • The vehicle was a total loss estimated at about €15,000, the Derneburg junction was closed until roughly 17:40, and authorities are seeking witnesses.
