Three officers have been taken to hospital after chasing a car that was spotted driving the wrong way on a major Scots road. Police were contacted after the blue Vauxhall Astra motor was seen travelling on the A720 Edinburgh City bypass at around 1.10am on Tuesday, October 11.
Specialist road traffic officers attended and were forced to give chase when the vehicle failed to stop when signalled to do so. Police Scotland have confirmed that ‘tactics’ were deployed to bring the suspect motor to a stop with the pursuit ending on the M9 between Junction 1A and 2.
