Around 4 p.m., a police patrol in the area of the Schulstrasse and Milan Bergstrasse roundabouts in Bad Gleichenberg noticed a blue-painted car (VW Passat). The young car driver left the roundabout there very quickly and turned around 50 meters later into Albrechtstrasse and accelerated his car with a Liezen license plate.
