Watch as dramatic 110mph police chase in Oldham ends in crash as car flips
"Thankfully, nobody was injured during this 15-minute pursuit.”
Shocking footage shows a speeding car flipping onto its roof after crashing following a dramatic 110mph police chase.
Officers were led on the high-speed pursuit after they attempted to stop a stolen vehicle in Oldham, Gtr Manchester, on Thursday night (18/6).
Dash-cam footage captured officers requesting the black Seat Leon to pull over before it speeds away after a brief conversation along Lees Road.
Officers said they suspected the driver to be using false plates which they had put on the car, which was stolen from Prestwich, in Bury, Gtr Manchester, the night before.
The driver - a man in his 20s - can be seen weaving in and out of traffic and driving on the wrong side of the road at high speed in attempts to escape.
The 15-minute chase reached speeds of up to 110mph while driving down busy Manchester Road and heading towards the West Yorkshire border.
He also dangerously shot across a junction at 50 mph.
The pursuit ended on the same road when he collided with a corner flipping the Leon through the air before it came to a complete stop on its roof in Slaithwaite, West Yorks.
The suspect was miraculously unharmed and pulled himself from the vehicle before attempting to make off on foot.
However he was arrested metres from the wreckage of the vehicle moments later.
The driver was arrested on suspicion of burglary and dangerous driving and remains in custody for questioning.
PS Bobby Nasim, from Greater Manchester Police's Tactical Vehicle Intercept Unit, said: "This suspect showed a complete disregard for the safety of everyone else on the road or the pedestrians on the pavement as he was speeding down High Street in Oldham.
"Despite initially stopping for officers, he chose to flee and at excessive speeds into West Yorkshire in a stolen car.
"His actions could very easily have resulted in serious injuries or worse, both for innocent members of the public and the responding officer.
"Thankfully, nobody was injured during this 15-minute pursuit.
"Those who think they can evade justice by driving dangerously should be under no illusion – our officers will continue to catch those who think they can use our roads to enable their criminality.
"I would like to thank the officer involved in this incident for their professionalism throughout what was a fast-moving and potentially dangerous incident."
