A 14-year-old boy and two men have been arrested after a police pursuit ended in a crash involving several cars in West Yorkshire.

An Audi A3 linked to previous "vehicle crime" offences was spotted on Halifax Road in Cleckheaton on Thursday night, West Yorkshire Police said.

The vehicle failed to stop for officers and was followed by police until it collided with several vehicles on Clifton Common, Brighouse, at 22:18 BST, the force added.

The occupants of the Audi ran off before being located by police dog and helicopter units, with two women taken to hospital with injuries not thought to be life threatening.
