Thames Valley Police and Surrey Police are appealing for witnesses following a serious injury collision in Egham, Surrey.
Shortly before 9pm on Sunday (16/2), officers from Thames Valley Police attempted to engage with the driver and passenger of a blue Mercedes in Stephens House car park in Arthur Road, Windsor, and the driver made off from police.
Shortly afterwards the vehicle was spotted on the outskirts on Windsor, where it failed to stop for police. A pursuit was initiated, and officers followed the Mercedes for about three minutes before they lost sight of it.
On rounding a bend on Windsor Road (A308) shortly past the Magna Carta travelling southbound, officers found that the driver of the Mercedes had collided with the driver of a grey Volkswagen that had been travelling in the northbound carriageway.
Officers from both Thames Valley Police and Surrey Police attended the scene, along with South East Coast Ambulance Service. Windsor Road was closed for several hours to allow officers to carry out initial enquiries but has now fully reopened.
Three people from the two vehicles were taken to hospital. A man has since been discharged. A woman is undergoing treatment for serious injuries.
A man in his thirties has been arrested for dangerous driving, failing to stop for police, driving whilst unfit through drink or drugs, driving without insurance, causing serious injury by dangerous driving, and causing serious injury by driving whilst disqualified. He remains in hospital undergoing treatment.
Officers are now looking to speak to anyone who might have witnessed any part of this incident and are particularly interested in tracing the movements of the Mercedes prior to the collision.
Police are appealing to anyone with CCTV, dashcam or helmet cam footage that may have captured all or part of this incident.
