German authorities are searching for a Luxembourgish driver involved in an illegal motorway race on Friday.

On Friday afternoon, witnesses alerted the German police to two vehicles racing one another on the A8 and A620 motorways near Saarbrücken.

According to the Burbach-Saarbrücken police department, one of the motorists involved in the race drove a blue BMW registered in Luxembourg. The other one was behind the wheel of a white VW Golf. Both drove at high speed and conducted several dangerous passing manoeuvres.

The VW eventually left the A620 motorway at the Saarbrücken-Klarenthal junction while the Luxembourgish driver continued in the direction of Homburg.

The Burbach-Saarbrücken police department hopes that further witnesses come forward so that they can identify both drivers. The station can be reached via the following number: 0681/97150.
