Two individuals sustained severe injuries when a BMW attempting to evade law enforcement collided with two stationary vehicles, causing one of the cars to overturn. The incident occurred on Kings Road in Bradford, prompting the closure of the area following the morning crash. Emergency responders, including fire crews, paramedics, and police, swiftly arrived at the scene, transporting the BMW driver and a female passenger to the hospital.
According to a statement from a spokesperson of West Yorkshire Police, the events unfolded when a BMW M3 failed to comply with a police stop request on Canal Road, Bradford, at 5:28 am on Sunday. Subsequently, a pursuit ensued, leading to the collision on Kings Road involving the fleeing BMW and the parked cars. Both occupants of the BMW sustained serious injuries but are reported as not life-threatening.
Authorities are currently conducting investigations at the crash site, urging the public to steer clear of the area for the ongoing recovery and examination processes. The collision involved a BMW that refused to stop for law enforcement, resulting in a collision with parked vehicles in Bradford earlier today.
Law enforcement officials are still probing the crash scene, emphasizing the importance of avoiding the affected area during the recovery and examination operations. The two injured individuals, linked to the pursuit and subsequent collision, were transported to a hospital with serious injuries that are deemed non-life-threatening.
In the aftermath of the crash, police are inspecting the overturned red vehicle left in a residential driveway, scrutinizing road markings and distances as part of the investigation into the morning accident. Emergency services are present at the scene, which seems to involve multiple vehicles, including a red car overturned, a significantly damaged blue vehicle, and another silver-colored car.
Authorities are examining the wreckage of the overturned car and another severely damaged vehicle at the crash site. Eyewitnesses report the presence of West Yorkshire Police, West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service, and Yorkshire Ambulance Service at the scene, with a vehicle lying overturned.
Due to the accident investigation activities, Swain House Road in both directions is temporarily closed from Idle Road to Sutton Avenue, although traffic flow on surrounding roads remains unaffected.
