Two police officers are being investigated by their own force after crashing an arrested man’s high-powered sports car into the front gardens of two local homes.

The Greater Manchester Police (GMP) officers stopped a Mitsubishi Lancer Evo in the early hours of Friday morning after spotting it being driven in an erratic manner on Hale Road, Hale Barns.

They subsequently arrested a 23-year-old man on suspicion of drink-driving and then decided to drive the 156mph car away from the scene.

Minutes later the Evo hit a wall and ploughed into two front gardens at the junction of Hale Road and Rydal Drive, ending up on its side.

One of the officers suffered minor injuries in the crash and the other was severely shaken, but no members of the public were hurt.

GMP immediately began an investigation and suspended the two officers from driving duties.

Chief Superintendent Mark Roberts apologised to local residents for the problems the crash had caused.

“I can assure the local community that this incident will be rigorously investigated,” he added.

One of the homeowners, Russell Lomas, told the BBC: “I was very shocked this morning when I was told two police officers were driving the car.”
