Nottinghamshire Police use stinger to stop fleeing teen who rammed officers in cloned car

A pursuit by Nottinghamshire Police will be hitting television screens on Wednesday, June 22, as the new series of Police Interceptors begins on Channel 5 at 8pm. The first episode of the new series sees a teenage driver ram into police cars as part of a desperate attempt to evade capture, testing the officer's driving skills.

Officers had been informed of a cloned vehicle in Blyth which was spotted and followed. The driver failed to stop and a high-speed pursuit took place, which saw him drive on the wrong side of the road and through red traffic lights.

Members of Nottinghamshire Police's road crime team tried to stop the Toyota Avensis, but the driver rammed two police cars numerous times. No injuries were caused but the two police cars sustained major damage.
