Two teenagers injured after police chase ends in crash | UK news


A police chase ended in chaos on the A406 at the Crooked Billet roundabout, leaving two Metropolitan Police officers injured and several vehicles damaged. The high-speed chase, which happened on the evening of Monday, November 4, is now under investigation. The incident began when a suspicious vehicle, believed to be a stolen white car, failed to stop for officers, prompting a pursuit. The pursuit intensified as the suspect attempted to flee by driving the wrong way on the A406, eventually colliding head-on with an Audi and causing significant damage. The dramatic crash brought traffic to a standstill and sparked an emergency response involving police, paramedics and the London Fire Brigade. Eyewitnesses described the scene as ???carnage,??? with debris strewn across the road and emergency services working tirelessly to secure the area and provide help. The two officers involved were assessed by paramedics from the London Ambulance Service and taken to a local hospital. Their injuries are reported to be non-life threatening and they are currently recovering. The people involved in the collision, including those in the suspect vehicle and the Audi, were also taken to hospital, with their condition pending updates. The incident led to significant disruption, with the A406 blocked in both directions and drivers facing severe delays. Commuters are advised to avoid the area as collision investigators continue their work to determine the exact circumstances of the pursuit and collision. Authorities have not confirmed whether any arrests have been made in connection with the incident. The Metropolitan Police said an investigation into the pursuit and the events leading up to the crash was ongoing. Further updates will be released as more information becomes available. Drivers and witnesses who may have dash cam footage or relevant information are urged to contact authorities to assist in the investigation.
