In Baden-Württemberg, three police officers were injured in an accident after a chase.
According to initial investigations by the Ludwigsburg traffic police, they had followed a vehicle on Tuesday afternoon whose driver had previously evaded control near Stuttgart.
The car suddenly turned off the federal highway 27 just before an exit.
When trying to follow the fugitive, the police car apparently bumped into a lane boundary.
The police came to the hospital.
It is not yet known how badly they are injured.
The police car is believed to have been totaled.
The pursued driver escaped.
But there are "investigative approaches" to the getaway car, said a police spokesman.
