The car crashed into two parked vehicles on Kings Road

Two people have been seriously injured in a crash following a police chase in Bradford.

West Yorkshire Police said officers had been pursuing a blue BMW M3 after it failed to stop for officers in Canal Road just before 05:30 GMT.

The force said during the pursuit the vehicle had turned into Kings Road where it crashed into two parked cars.

Police said the driver of the BMW and a female passenger had been taken to hospital, where they were found to have suffered "serious, but not life-threatening" injuries.

A spokesperson said a scene had been put in place covering both sides of Kings Road and Swain House Road, with the public advised to avoid the area while work continued.
