TWO people were arrested after a police pursuit through Highbridge.
The incident unfolded on Wednesday (April 30) after officers spotted a vehicle driving without insurance in Market Street.
They used lights and sirens to bring the vehicle to a stop, an Avon & Somerset Police spokesperson said, but it “made off”.
“A short pursuit commenced along Market Street where the car – a Volkswagen – was involved in a collision with two other vehicles,” they said. “The Volkswagen then continued on to the A38 Bristol Road and was lost to sight by officers.
“It was located by officers a short distance down the road involved in a collision between three other vehicles.”
