Racecar driver escaping on foot after Audi crash

In the early hours of this morning, a silver Audi A4 with fake license plates was reported to have fled on Brockhagener Straße in Gütersloh. The driver, who remains unidentified, was spotted by local authorities at 06:45 AM, turning onto Brockhagener Straße from Gütersloher Straße.

The driver, described as approximately 20 to 30 years old with short, blonde hair, was wearing a light-colored T-shirt, a white and black jacket, and dark pants. As a patrol car approached, the driver accelerated sharply and ran a red light, attempting to evade capture.

However, the Audi's reckless maneuvers did not go unnoticed. Witnesses are asked to contact the Traffic Commission 2 at 0521-545-0 with any information they may have. The Audi was eventually seized and towed away by a tow truck.
