A 17-year-old boy was arrested on Friday evening after riding a stolen motorbike that crashed into a car in Bradford. The incident occurred when police spotted a suspected stolen motorbike while on patrol near Killinghall Road at 5:03 PM and gave chase.
Crash and Chase
While fleeing from officers, the rider crashed into the side of a Vauxhall Corsa, throwing him into the air. He landed heavily on the road but quickly got to his feet and attempted to run from the scene. CCTV footage from a nearby house showed the rider colliding with a post moments later, falling to the ground again.
Despite these setbacks, the rider got up and ran off once more. Police officers pursued on foot and eventually caught up with him. No serious injuries were reported from the crash.
