A teenager has been arrested after a police chase through Rochdale ended in a crash that left one passenger fighting for their life.
A 19 year old man has been arrested following a serious road traffic collision in Rochdale after a vehicle failed to stop for police officers on Thursday evening.
At approximately 6.15pm on Thursday 5 June, officers conducted a routine stop on a vehicle on Drake Street. However, the driver made off, prompting a police pursuit through the town. During the chase, the suspect’s vehicle collided with multiple other vehicles.

The suspected driver fled the scene on foot but was later apprehended.
