The car chase started at 02.40, when the police tried to stop the man's car after leaving an industrial area in Skövde.

- He drove extinguished and very careless. But he did not want to stop, says Morten Gunneng, security officer at the police region West.

According to Morten Gunneng, the car chase went on for up to 50 minutes.

- He drove on several small roads between Skövde and Mariestad. We tried on several occasions to stop his car with the help of nail mats, but failed.

Hit the police car

Once on the E20, at the height of Mariestad, the car chase ended when the man hit a police car.

- Both vehicles were off the road, says Morten Gunneng.

Was anyone injured?

- Everyone is undamaged according to the information I have. But everyone involved will be monitored by the healthcare system overnight.

"The list will be long"

The man is now suspected of multiple crimes.

- He is suspected of many crimes. The list will probably only be completed during the morning, when we checked the industrial area he left. But I can say that he is suspected of drunken driving, threats against an official and gross negligence in traffic. But the list is going to be long, says Morten Gunneng, security officer at the police region West.
