Police are appealing for footage and information after a car collided with a number of other vehicles in #Leeds last week.
West Yorkshire Police in a statement have said:
Officers from our Roads Policing Unit would like to speak to anyone who saw or has footage of a blue Skoda Fabia involved in dangerous driving incidents on Thursday 12 February.
Enquiries are ongoing into several collisions and other incidents which took place between 8.30am and 8.50am.
Police were called at 8.40am by callers reporting a blue Skoda Fabia had collided with vehicles on Savins Mill Way, Leeds before driving off at speed onto Kirkstall Road and then heading towards Leeds city centre.
A blue Skoda Fabia was involved in a further collision on Canal Road, close to the junction with Pickering Street, at around 8.45am.
The car had been overtaking a line of slow-moving vehicles in the Leeds bound carriageway, and failed to stop after making contact with other cars.
The Skoda Fabia was then driven the wrong way from Jack Lane along the A61 in the direction of the M621 Junction 4 where it drove through traffic. It collided with numerous vehicles before again failing to stop.
At 08.50am police received calls regarding a collision on Dewsbury Road, Beeston where a blue Skoda Fabia had collided with vehicles before flipping onto its roof and coming to rest after striking a double-decker bus.
The male driver of the car, described as wearing a black puffa style coat, then made off on foot.
No-one was reported to be injured in the collisions.
Inspector Claire Gray of the Roads Policing Unit, said; “A number of enquiries remain ongoing into this series of incidents in Leeds in which a Skoda Fabia has clearly been driven in a dreadful and dangerous manner.
“It is fortunate no-one was seriously injured, and I want to make clear all possible enquiries are being conducted to identify and locate the driver.
