Happened in Warrington, but looks like a Manchester City Council sticker on the bonnet

Reads like PHD was blameless, but just happened to get caught up in the police chase of the Jaguar.

Also reads like the PHD not too seriously injured, but it's not entirely clear from the article

POLICE set up a crime scene at Bewsey following a two-vehicle collision which resulted in firefighters cutting free a person trapped in a private hire vehicle.

Emergency services, including, police, fire and ambulance attended at the scene following a collision between a red Jaguar car and a silver private hire vehicle at the junction of Bewsey Road and Lodge Lane on Lovely Lane, Warrington, at around 8.15pm on Tuesday.



The road was closed as firefighters used specialist cutting equipment to help rescue a person, understood to be the driver, trapped in the cab vehicle.

The person was seen in a neck brace being stretchered into a waiting ambulance.

Eyewitness reports suggest the Jaguar vehicle, which collided with a wall on Lodge Lane, was being followed by police.

Two fire engines attended from Penketh and Knutsford.

The collision involved two vehicles and one person was trapped in their car.

Firefighters used specialist cutting equipment to release the casualty, they were then passed to the care of paramedics.

Crews were in attendance at the scene for around one hour.

Another interesting feature about the article above is that it totally manages to avoid the t-word

This updated one below is more conventional in that regard. But confirms driver just suffered minor injuries.

And also confirms that the Jaguar was involved in a police chase.

A CAR crashed into a taxi and a wall after a police chase last night.

Officers attempted to pull the red Jaguar over near to Warrington Hospital shortly before 8pm last night, Tuesday, but the vehicle failed to stop and made off in the direction of Froghall Lane.

Following a short pursuit, the car crashed into a silver Toyota Prius and the garden wall of a house at the junction of Bewsey Road, Lovely Lane, Folly Lane and Lodge Lane in Bewsey.

The 47-year-old driver fled on foot but was swiftly detained and arrested on suspicion of dangerous driving, failing to stop for police, driving without a licence, driving without insurance and driving without an MOT.

Meanwhile, the taxi driver – a 32-year-old man from Manchester – suffered minor injuries and was taken to hospital as a precautionary measure.

A Cheshire Police spokesman said: “At 7.55pm on Tuesday, April 20, officers attempted to stop a red Jaguar near to Warrington Hospital.

“The driver of the car failed to comply and made off in the direction of Froghall Lane “Following a short pursuit, the vehicle came to a stop after colliding with a silver Toyota Prius and a garden wall.

“The driver of the car then fled the vehicle on foot, but was located a short time later.

“A 47-year-old man from Warrington was subsequently arrested on suspicion of failing to stop for police, dangerous driving, driving without insurance, driving without a licence and driving without a valid MOT.

“The driver of the Toyota, a 32-year-old man from Manchester, sustained minor injuries as a result of the incident and was taken to hospital as a precautionary measure.”

But for the grace of god.

Be interesting to see the resale price of that convertible.
