It involved a car, a group of parked vehicles and a marked police car on Sunday (August 27)
One person remains in hospital in critical condition with life-threatening and life-changing injuries after a crash on the A4 over the weekend.
The incident on Grover Park on Sunday morning (27 August) involved a car, a group of parked vehicles and a marked police car.
Avon and Somerset Police tell us a man in his late teens arrested following the incident has been released on conditional bail.
He was taken in by police on Sunday on suspicion of driving while under the influence of alcohol and dangerous driving.
The force were called at around 2am that morning after they received a report of a suspected drink driving incident in Canons Way.
Officers identified the vehicle as an Audi A3 using CCTV and at around 2.15am the driver made off from police.
A pursuit then followed, which led them away from the city centre and onto the A4, where the suspect’s car crashed with several parked cars at around 2.20am. A
secondary collision has then occurred involving a marked police car.
Four people from the Audi have been taken to hospital, one with possible life-threatening and life changing injuries.
The officer was also taken to hospital with suspected minor injuries and has now been discharged to recover from home.
The Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) are investigating this matter independently after a mandatory referral was made due to serious injury following police contact.
