High-Speed Police Takedown Stops BMW Convertible
The black BMW convertible was stopped thanks to a well-coordinated police operation involving both marked and unmarked cars. Witnesses say a marked police vehicle purposely hit the BMW, causing it to spin out and bring the chase to a sudden halt — potentially saving lives.
Suspect Slapped with Multiple Offences Including Drunk and Drug Driving
Cheshire Police revealed the suspect planned to drive against traffic flow. He now faces a string of charges including:
- Failing to stop
- Use of a cloned number plate
- Dangerous driving
- Intoxicated driving
- Two counts of drug driving
Witness Captures Dramatic Police Encirclement
The chase climaxed near junction 20 at Lymm around 3:30 pm, where the BMW was forced off the M56 onto the M6. Eyewitness Chris Gibney filmed the tense moment police boxed in the car. He described the harrowing near-miss with his own vehicle and praised the swift actions of officers, including a dog handler.
Police Praise Team for Quick, Crucial Action
Inspector Anton Sullivan from Cheshire Police’s Roads and Crime Unit said the driver posed a massive risk to the public, especially during peak traffic. “It was vital to stop him before reaching the Thelwall Viaduct,” Sullivan explained.
The incident wrapped up quickly, allowing a speedy cleanup and reopening of the motorway’s outer lane. The suspect remains in custody as police continue to investigate.
