A 27-year-old man who was supposed to intentionally cause a car accident in Gniezno faces a life sentence for the attempted murder of his ex-partner. The incident occurred on June 27. The man was taken to temporary custody.
The Gniezno police reported that on June 27 in the afternoon on Powstańców Wielkopolskich Street, a Volvo car with two people in it overturned. The driver and passenger were not seriously injured. The 21-year-old passenger told the police officers who arrived at the scene that the driver was her ex-partner, who had deliberately caused the accident.
– During the ride, an argument allegedly broke out between them, after which, while driving on a straight road, the man pressed the gas pedal, only to turn the steering wheel sharply to the left a moment later, driving into a roadside ditch and hitting an embankment, which caused the vehicle to somersault. The passenger was provided with medical assistance at the hospital and then released – the police described.
The 27-year-old driver was stopped by police. The man was sober, but a blood sample was taken to check if he was under the influence of drugs.
