A 42-year-old man has been arrested after a wild ride on the M4 ended in a scary collision and a desperate bid to flee the scene.
Range Rover Flip Sparks Police Hunt
Last night around 9pm, police were flooded with calls reporting a Range Rover Evoque tearing it up dangerously on the motorway. The chaos peaked when the vehicle smashed into another car between Membury Services and Junction 15, flipping onto its roof.
The driver made a run for it, abandoning the wreck. Officers then got reports of a man spotted walking along the hard shoulder heading towards Junction 15.
Police Dog Conan Tracks Down Suspect
In a rapid response, Wiltshire Police’s Roads Policing Unit teamed up with Armed Response and the dog squad, including the famed Police Dog Conan, to track down the suspect. He was arrested on multiple charges, including drink driving, drug driving, driving while disqualified, failing to stop after a crash, and even pedestrian offences on the carriageway.
