Police are hunting for a driver after a car being pursued by officers crashed into another vehicle.

Officers were patrolling the Hempsted area of Gloucester at about 09.50 BST on Tuesday, when a driver sped off upon seeing the marked police car, Gloucestershire Police said.

The driver failed to stop and travelled towards Cole Avenue.

A force spokesperson said: "The vehicle later collided with a member of the public’s vehicle and the occupants decamped. A foot chase ensued but those involved were not located despite searches of the area."

Investigating officers have asked anyone who witnessed the pursuit or has any relevant dashcam or CCTV footage to get in touch.
