Police gave chase, but moments later, the Golf crashed into an ambulance at a nearby roundabout.

Emergency teams rushed to the scene where two female ambulance workers were hurt. Both were taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. The ambulance wasn’t carrying a patient at the time; it was en route for a hospital transfer.
