Suspected drug dealer causes four car crash, injuring child, after trying to flee from police in Peterborough

Police requested a vehicle, a white Volkawagen Golf, to stop in Taverners Road at 3.30pm on Thursday, February 15.

When it failed to stop the male driver went the wrong way round a roundabout and crashed into another vehicle, a Black Mercedes C220 sport.

The vehicles subsequently hit a Black Audi A1 and a Silver Seat Alhambra.

Nobody was seriously injured but an 11-year-old child was taken to the doctors to be checked over.

A police spokeswoman said all involved were "very shaken up."

A 25-year-old man from Peterborough was arrested for failing to stop when directed by police and also on suspicion of possession with intent to supply class A and B drugs.

He has been released under investigation.
