Thames Valley Police said two people were taken to hospital after the crash

A man has been arrested after a driver crashed into a vehicle, injuring two people, after failing to stop for police.

The crash happened in Iffley Road, Oxford, on Saturday night at about 23:30 BST after the driver ignored demands to stop from officers.

The two injured people have since been discharged from hospital.

A 27-year-old man from Oxford was held on suspicion of a string of offences and released pending further inquiries.

Iffley Road was closed again on Sunday between 11:30 and 14:00 so investigations could take place during daylight hours.

The man was questioned on suspicion of failing to stop after a road accident, dangerous driving and using a motor vehicle without insurance.

He was also held on suspicion of causing serious injury by dangerous driving, drug-driving, burglary, assault and criminal damage.

Thames Valley Police has referred itself to the Independent Office for Police Conduct as a result of the incident.
