Dramatic pictures show shocking aftermath of car chase through Doncaster estate

Residents say a number of cars were damaged during the pursuit that happened earlier this evening, which ended up on Evelyn Avenue, Intake, with a number of police cars on the scene.

It involved the pursuit of a silver van, which residents said had been chased all over Intake before officers brought it to a halt.

One resident said police had to put one of their cars in the way of the van to stop it. She was aware of least two residents cars being hit in the incident.

She said: “They used it (the police car) to crash into it and stop it. In the meantime my neighbours car was crashed into and their wall is down.

“One officer has a broken arm from the information I got.”

Another resident described hearing sirens going off on the estate as the incident was unfolding.

There were five police cars at the scene of the incident, and residents believe police had taken a suspect from the scene.

They are understood to now be waiting for a recovery lorry to move the vehicles from the scene.

Residents had taken to social media to describe having seen the chase earlier. Residents had described the vehicle travelling along Huningdon Road, Runnymede Road and Cardigan Road, all Intake, before the chase ended, at around 5pm this evening.
