Police detained two men after a car chase ended on railway tracks and found cannabis in the car.[1] The chase began shortly before midnight on Saturday 24 October 2026, when a Dubňany patrol spotted a suspicious car at a petrol station in Mutěnice.[2] When the officers turned around, the driver sped through the village toward Hodonín.[1] During the pursuit he overtook other cars dangerously and wove between them, reaching 200 km/h at times.[1] After several kilometres he slowed, accelerated again, left the road, broke a tree stump on a slope and partly drove onto the tracks, where the car became stuck after a few metres.[1] Officers used force to detain the driver and his passenger.[1]
The driver had never held a driving licence; his breath test was negative but a preliminary drug test was positive for amphetamine and methamphetamine.[1] The car’s registration plates belonged to another vehicle.[3] In the boot and cabin, officers found a larger quantity of cannabis, which Hodonín detectives seized and sent for expert examination.[3] Video of the pursuit showed the boot packed almost to bursting with plants.[4]
Rail traffic was stopped for more than an hour while firefighters winched the car off the tracks; the track was undamaged and nobody was injured.[1] Hodonín police said they were still investigating the circumstances.[1]
