In August a Slovak millionaire woman killed four people in a road accident, and now a new case has provoked public outcry in Hungary.
On 11 October four Hummer SUV crossed the Hungarian – Romanian border. They belonged to an Austrian Hummer community having been organized on the internet and were on their way home.
In Bács county, South Hungary, Hungarian police fined one of them for speeding, and later another member of the group tried to force a policeman on a motorbike off the rode when he was overtaking the SUV.
Then, at a road junction, another police officer blocked the road with his bike and made the Hummer stop.
The driver stopped for a while but a suddenly he started off again running over the police officer who died in hospital later.
The 34-year old Austrian man who is charged with murder. He covered up his face with the bed sheet while taking to prison hospital.
The Hungarian police opened fire and hit the man hour times causing serious but not critical injuries. There was also some fight between the policemen and the criminal whose blood contained some traces of drugs.
The 34 year old Austrian man, who was taken to a Hungarian prison hospital, regained his consciousness but refused to make a confession, what is more, he make a complaint against the charges.
Commemorating the murdered policeman on the spot where the tragedy happened
Anyway, he is not unknown for the police, earlier he had had conflicted with the law 28 times including violence and armed robbery.
If he is find guilty of killing a policeman he may be sentenced for 10 or 20 years in prison, or even for his life time.
Giving evidence might be not so hard as one the members of the Hummer group recorded the action by his smart phone.

I heard from someone there that the cops opened fire FIRST, panicking the driver!
What else should policemen do if (a)the driver does not stop, (b)wants to hit the cop on the motorbike?
The cops shot at the tyres and at the driver's head….unfortunately!
I meant: NOT at the head of the driver….unfortunately!!
Shooting at the tires on those humvees is pointless, they have run flats.
Unfortunate situation for all involved, I heard one of the other people in the caravan has the whole incident on video so the truth will come out. This sounds like a routine traffic stop that escalated way out of control.
Personally I wouldn't be driving EUR 100,000+ vehicles through eastern EU countries. Attracts too much attention, people will either think you are rich and a gangster.
I guess you would also run over everybody in your panic.
I also heard from someone you do not know what your talking about.
Very sad, in this case this individual should be charged to the full extent of the law.
I think "normal" people don't get into this situation so often, and there is no need to get into panic! Bread and water for 70 years in a prison, or die.
Why dont you TELL THE TRUTH in this story!! He stopped for the officer, DID NOT "try to run him off the road" and the Officer PEPPER SPRAYED the driver in the FACE. THe other Officer who was unfortunately ACCIDENTALLY run over had foolishly parked directly in front of the Hummer, and when the driver was sprayed in the face with pepper spray instinctively hit the gas. I have seen the actual full video. Why do you LIE????
You have no idea as to the facts of this story,

Here is the FULL video from different cameras. Watch the entire thing. You will see the cop pepper spray him in the face, see the other cop stupidly park his bike in front of the Hummer. It was a horrible horrible ACCIDENT that was caused by very bad tactics and lack of training by the Police involved.
