A man in his 20s has been arrested following a police pursuit that ended in a dramatic four-vehicle collision on Whitlees Road in Rochdale.

Greater Manchester Police confirmed that the crash, which occurred overnight, involved four vehicles but resulted in no reported injuries.

One of the cars, an Audi, was seen on top of another vehicle in images captured at the scene. Officers in an unmarked police car were also present.

A spokesperson for GMP said to Roch Valley Radio;

A man was arrested on suspicion of failing to stop for police, dangerous driving, and driving without a licence. He remains in custody while enquiries continue. One vehicle has been seized as part of the investigation.
