A 37-year-old man was arrested after a police pursuit in Warrington ended with a car crashing into a bungalow.

Police in Warrington arrested a 37-year-old man after a vehicle pursuit ended when his car crashed into a bungalow on Bagot Avenue early on Tuesday morning. Officers had been called to reports of a man driving a Nissan Qashqai who was possibly armed with a knife. Around 2am, they spotted a vehicle matching the description in the Norris Street area and attempted to stop it. The driver made off at speed and a pursuit was authorised, with the car travelling through the local area before colliding with the bungalow.

The driver was assessed by paramedics at the scene and taken to hospital as a precautionary measure. He has since been discharged and arrested on suspicion of dangerous driving, criminal damage, driving while disqualified, failing to stop following a collision and failure to provide a specimen for analysis. He remains in police custody. Four passengers from the vehicle were also treated by paramedics; their injuries are not believed to be serious.

The occupants of the bungalow suffered only minor injuries and have been moved to alternative accommodation while the property is assessed by structural engineers.
