A 28-year old man was arrested by the Civil Guard in Churriana de la Vega for allegedly committing a crime against road safety. He is accused of reckless driving, driving without a licence and resisting and disobeying authorities.
The events took place on a street called Churriana de la Vega at 9:00 p.m., January 10. An Armilla Civil Guard patrol tried to intercept a vehicle that was being driven by a known criminal. They knew the driver had been revoked from his driving licence and could therefore not drive.
Instead of following the orders of the agents to stop the car, the individual accelerated and fled at maximum speed through the town, posing danger to pedestrians and drivers. He crashed into a car parked on the street, causing severe material damage.
After struggling for several hours to subdue him, he abandoned the vehicle and fled to hide in a nearby pub.
