Moment driver runs from police after 91 mph chase ends with a bump
16.02.2024 - 22:45 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
This was the moment a driver tried to evade police at speeds of more than 90 mph, before running away after hitting a street sign. Officers chased the orange Peugeot 3008 along the A56 Bury New Road, in Prestwich, in the early hours of this morning (February 16).
Greater Manchester Police says the car sparked the interest of its officers when it was seen being driven dangerously at high speeds on Bury New Road. Police approached the Peugeot but it failed to stop and sped into the distance.
Video footage from GMP's car shows the chase reaching speeds of 91 mph as officers pursue it up Bury New Road, in a 30 mph zone. The car then slows down as it turns left onto Chester Street, before heading along Clifton Road, Arthur Street and Clough Drive in a bid to evade officers.

It finally comes to a halt as it reaches Carmona Drive, where the car stops after hitting a street sign. Two people can be seen getting out of the Peugeot, including the driver, before running to flee from police.
GMP says that following a lengthy foot chase, a man in his 50s was arrested on suspicion of dangerous driving, driving without insurance and failing to stop for police. Officers then searched the Peugeot, where they found a hammer.
The man was further arrested on suspicion of possessing an offensive weapon. He remains in custody for questioning this evening (Friday). The car was spotted and pursued by officers from GMP's Tactical Vehicle Intercept Unit (TVIU), who were pleased with the outcome.
Inspector Danny Kabal, of GMP’s Specialist Operations Unit, said: “This result showcases to the public that officers from the TVIU are patrolling the streets of Greater Manchester day
