A police officer has been rushed to hospital after a collision following a pursuit in Greater Manchester.
In a statement, Greater Manchester Police said,
“An officer has been seriously injured following the pursuit of a vehicle on cloned licence plates, on Dukinfield Road, Hyde at 12.35pm today (Monday 24 June 2024). This vehicle is thought to have been involved in a fail to stop collision earlier this afternoon.
The officer, who is from our vehicle intercept unit, was transported to hospital, where he remains. Thankfully, his injuries are not thought to be life threatening and he is being supported by colleagues.
Initial indications are that the police vehicle took evasive action to avoid another vehicle which resulted in the collision. The occupants of this car were not injured.
Dukinfield Road is currently closed whilst emergency services continue to conduct enquiries and make the area safe.
The search for the original vehicle we were pursuing is continuing.
