A black BMW 520 collided with two cars and then crashed into a fence after failing to stop for police.

Officers had tried to pull the vehicle over in Royal Engineers' Road, Maidstone, but instead it is alleged the car jumped a red light, where it was involved in the collision with two other cars, before driving at speed towards Aylesford.

Turning into Forstal Road, the BMW left the carriageway and collided with a sign and a fence at the junction with Lock Lane. The occupants left the scene on foot prior to the arrival of police patrols.

Two men from Maidstone, aged 21 and 22, were arrested in connection with the incident - which took place at 5.50pm on October 3 - and later released pending further investigation.

Officers also interviewed a 21-year-old man from Maidstone under caution, who remains under investigation.

PC Lucy Edworthy said: "Whilst we have arrested two suspects and interviewed a third, we are appealing for witnesses to contact the us. This includes two pedestrians who were walking close to the scene of the collision in Forstal Road.

"In addition, motorists with dashcam who were in the area are asked to check for footage that may assist the investigation."
