When cops found the car crashed into a wall in Bad Kreuznach, Rhineland Palatinate on Saturday, they figured the driver had just left it there, and took it off to a garage.

But the 30-year-old driver was huddled in the boot – and stayed there to straighten up.

There was food and drink inside the car, which the woman could reach from where she was hiding, the Bild newspaper reported.

She later told police she had been under the influence of drugs and alcohol at the time of the accident – and has now lost her driving licence.

A 36-year-old man died from his injuries at the scene, while a 23-year-old man was taken to hospital with serious injuries, where he later died, police said on Saturday evening.

Both of the victims were Ukrainian citizens who lived in the Garmisch-Partenkirchen district, police said.

The same evening, police arrested a 57-year-old suspect – said to be a Russian national – who lives near the crime scene.

The 57-year-old is now being investigated on suspicion of murder.

“The exact course of events, background and motive are now the subject of the criminal investigation,” the police said.

The public prosecutor’s office has applied for a warrant for the suspect’s arrest.
