A 20-year-old man has been charged after a police chase in Preston earlier this week.

Lancashire Police said a Ford Kuga was pursued for around 10 minutes after it failed to stop for officers in the Ashton area at 11.22am.

The pursuit was captured on police dashcam with the driver seen racing away from officers and swerving into oncoming traffic, before crashing into another vehicle in Blackpool Road. No one was injured in the collision.

Officers surrounded the wreck and a 20-year-old man and two boys, aged 16, were taken into custody.

Chief Inspector John Jennings-Wharton said the driver sped through a residential area at more than double the speed limit and on the wrong side of the road towards oncoming vehicles.

Charged

Lancashire Police said Faizol Stefani, 20, of no fixed address, has been charged with dangerous driving, driving while disqualified and having no insurance.

He was remanded in custody to appear at Preston Magistrates Court yesterday (Wednesday, August 12).

The two 16-year-olds have been released on bail with conditions, pending further enquiries.

One boy was arrested on suspicion of theft of a motor vehicle, possession of a knife/bladed article, and going equipped. The other boy was arrested on suspicion of burglary of a dwelling.
