A 25-year-old escapes in Steinau im Kinzigtal on a motorized two-wheeler. Without a driver's license or insurance, he gets into trouble. The young man is suspected of having taken drugs.

Steinau – A 25-year-old was on a cycle path in Steinau an der Straße on Sunday evening (March 1st) without the required driving license and without insurance cover. The Southeast Hesse Police Headquarters reported that the man was suspected to be under the influence of drugs.

A police patrol noticed the young man who was not riding a bicycle, but rather a motorized two-wheeler. When the officers gave the signal to stop, the driver ignored them and tried to flee. After a short chase, the moped began to slide.

Although the 25-year-old was able to avoid a fall, according to the police, he was stopped shortly afterwards by the emergency services and temporarily arrested. During the check it turned out that the man did not have a valid driver's license.

“There is also suspicion that he drove the vehicle under the influence of cannabis. This resulted in a blood sample being taken. Furthermore, the moped was not registered,” reported police spokesman Thomas Leipold.

Officers discovered that the vehicle had an unissued insurance license plate attached. Therefore there was no liability insurance cover. The two-wheeler was towed away. Criminal proceedings were initiated against the 25-year-old.

A few hours later Meanwhile, a driver collided head-on with a truck on the B254 in the Vogelsberg district. The young woman was seriously injured in the accident on the federal highway between Schwalmtal and Lauterbach.
