BMW driver arrested after police pursuit through Hyde

BMW Hyde

A driver has been arrested on suspicion of dangerous driving and other motoring offences after a police pursuit through Hyde and Ashton, police said in the early hours of this morning.

Greater Manchester Police's traffic division tweeted at 2.51am today (Monday) that the BMW vehicle was pursued through in the east of the city, before the motorist lost control.

He was then boxed in - trapped - by police cars and arrested on suspicion of dangerous driving, having no insurance and failing to stop.
