Two men have been arrested following a police chase, during which a member of the public was hurt.

Wiltshire Police said officers identified a car travelling at excessive speed on Range Road between Bulford and Tidworth, which subsequently failed to stop.

The vehicle came to a halt, colliding with a van and then an unmarked police vehicle, on the A338 near Tidworth Cemetery.

Wiltshire Police said the two occupants of the car were taken to hospital to be treated for minor injuries.

A quantity of suspected class A drugs was subsequently found in the vehicle, the force added.

A 30-year-old man, was arrested on suspicion of dangerous driving, drink driving, aggravated taking of a vehicle without consent, driving while disqualified and possession with intent to supply class A drugs.
