Polish and Czech Police Capture Drunk Mercedes Driver After Cross‑Border Chase

A routine traffic stop in the village of Pobiedna turned into a high‑speed pursuit when a 36‑year‑old driver of a Mercedes ignored police orders and fled. The driver, a resident of Zgorzelec County, continued the escape across the Polish‑Czech border, prompting coordinated action by Polish and Czech law‑enforcement agencies.

Joint police efforts intercepted the suspect in the Czech Republic. Tests confirmed he was driving under the influence and held three active driving bans. The cross‑border operation prevented further danger on the roads and resulted in his arrest.

Authorities are now investigating the incident and reviewing the circumstances of the chase.
