Weybridge crash: Two held after collision during police chase

The force said the crash had been referred to the IOPC because the driver of one of the cars involved had come to the notice of police beforehand.

An IOPC spokesperson said they had been notified by Surrey Police.

“We were advised that police had been in pursuit of a fleeing vehicle prior to the collision,” they said.

They added: “We have requested a paper referral with further information about the circumstances surrounding this incident, which we will assess in due course before deciding if any further action is required from us.”

Balfour Road was closed immediately after the collision but has since reopened.

Surrey Police urged any witnesses to come forward. Two of the cars involved were a silver Mitsubishi Outlander and a white Toyota Prius, they said.
