Coked-up BMW driver rammed into police car before smash after trip to chippy got out of hand

A coked-up driver rammed into a police car in a Co-op car park and then made off round the block in his dad’s BMW 4x4 during a trip 'to the chippy'.

Cops spotted 38-year-old Alan Greenhow behind the wheel of the BMW X6 on Dickson Road, in Blackpool, while he was banned from driving. The police followed Greenhow into the car park of a Co-op supermarket, and used their car to block him into a parking space.

However Greenhow, who was under the influence of cocaine at the time, used BMW car to force his way out - damaging the police car and injuring an officer’s arm in the process. Greenhow then drove around the block, colliding with a moving vehicle before losing control and crashing into two parked cars, Lancs Live reports.
