Leeds residents are urged to come forward after a blue Skoda Fabia careered through the city, smashing into multiple vehicles in a shocking series of crashes last Thursday morning.

Multiple Crashes on Busy Leeds Roads

West Yorkshire Police say the reckless driver was spotted on Thursday 12 February, between 8:30am and 8:50am. The havoc began on Savins Mill Way when the Skoda smashed into several cars before speeding off onto Kirkstall Road.

Shortly after, the same car caused another crash on Canal Road near Pickering Street at around 8:45am. The driver was reportedly overtaking slow-moving traffic and failed to stop after hitting other vehicles.

Wrong-Way Mayhem and Final Flop

The Skoda then turned up the heat by driving the wrong way from Jack Lane onto the A61 towards the M621 Junction 4, ploughing through traffic and causing more collisions — all while refusing to stop.
