That’s gonna be a crazy episode of interceptors

[theacoustician]

Why am i not surprised they were trying to stop a BMW.

[stephenbrookes]

They really are taking expired TV licenses seriously!

[Jonathan_Doe_]

I’m gonna wait for the dash footage before judging either way on this one. Scenes such a mess who knows what the f**k actually happened there?

[joyelmes]

Looks as though they all simultaneously hit an invisible wall.

[charvais]

This is why they stick to arresting mum's & grannies for hurty words...

[brendanoconnor]

My thoughts and prayers are with all those injured in this mess. 🙏

[jamesmc]

Usual suspects causing mayhem, That a few quid we are paying for a bad boy who thinks rules apply to others.

[kennethhewish]

What a mess,
Does anyone know what actually happened for it to go so catastrophically wrong??

[MarkJones-yycp]

Don’t worry we will pick up the bill for yet more inept police work

[chrisdee]

Apparently some dude posted an offensive comment on Facebook so they went after him.

*Speculation - while trying to do TPAC the unmarked car was clipped and hit the marked car before heading backwards into the central reservation wall. The marked car then hit the wall then spun across the road. Following patrol cars collided with each other under heavy breaking.

That undercover Volvo was built damn well if people survived that!

[arfurwitt]

The guy gets 6 months in nick for dangerous driving and 5 years for using hurty words in the kebab shop which led to the police chase.

[Bradley-cw]

That was a 16 man firearms unit on their way to arrest a single mum for posting a Facebook comment

[MichèleNoriega-kd]

How???
Full and speedy recovery to all concerned. ❤🙏🏻

[iandouglas]

Im no crash investigator, but i count SIX cars. It looks to me as if the one on its side is still flashing it's covert blue lights. Hence, plain car...

[michellejemison]

Praying for all those involved ❤️🙏🏻❤️

[Gerry-K]

Speed Kills! And usually it's the innocent that get hurt or die!

[leecromer]

It amazes me the number of people commenting on this, obviously there at the scene, involved in the pursuit, saw everything which allows them to make such thoughtful comments🤡🤡🤡’s
