Garmisch-Partenkirchen (dpa/lby) - A police car landed in the Loisach while chasing a scooter in Garmisch-Partenkirchen. The fugitive drove his scooter over a pedestrian bridge that is not usable for vehicles, police reported on Wednesday.
When turning, the police car slipped down the adjacent embankment to the Loisach on Tuesday evening and came to a stop in the shallow water. The two officers in the vehicle suffered minor injuries. The fire department recovered the car from the river.
The scooter driver, who was supposed to be checked because of the wavy lines he drove, but didn't stop, was able to escape undetected.
