Belgian police had alerted the Luxembourgish authorities that a driver had fled after a traffic stop in Belgium.

The car, registered to the Netherlands, took flight in the direction of Luxembourg at more than 200km/h on Friday night. As he fled, the driver tried to push a chasing police car off the road.

After being alerted, Luxembourg police put in a place measures to stop the car in its tracks.

The driver was forced to brake after an intervention by police in Capellen. He lost control of the vehicle and crashed by the Steinfort exit on the A6. He was not wounded and was immediately intercepted by Luxembourg police.

With the help of a police dog, 7,647.83 grammes of cocaine were discovered in the car, with a street value of around 596,000 euros. The individual was arrested and his car seized.
