This was the dramatic moment a police chase came to a sudden end before the driver fled the scene. Greater Manchester Police began a 'lengthy' investigation to track down Michael Turner after he made off from his car on a narrow country road near Bolton.
The footage, captured by GMP, shows the car driven by Turner being pursued along Slack Fold Lane, in Farnworth. Early in the footage, a red car appears to brake sharply and pull over to allow both Turner's vehicle and the police car behind to pass.
While approaching a bend and passing houses at the side of the road, the pursuit reaches speeds of 60mph. But as Turner tries to drive past a second car later in the video, the pursuit comes to a sudden end.
