Becontree Avenue, Dagenham crash: 2 arrests and 2 injured

A car failed to stop for police in Greenside, Dagenham, at 2.54pm on Friday (February 9), so a pursuit was authorised by Scotland Yard. Shortly before 3pm the car being chased crashed into another vehicle and a female pedestrian in Becontree Avenue. The pedestrian and the female driver of the other car were taken to hospital[1] by the London Ambulance Service.

The condition of both women has been assessed as not life-threatening, police said. Two suspects were caught and detained after fleeing from their car on foot. Both were taken to hospital as a precaution and have now been taken into custody at an east London police station.

A Metropolitan Police spokesperson said: "As is routine in such circumstances, the Met's Directorate of Professional Standards have been informed."
