Police chase kills three

Three people have died and a fourth is seriously ill after their car crashed during a police pursuit on Sunday morning. The two men and one woman were killed when their Vauxhall Vectra struck a garden wall in Oldham, Greater Manchester shortly after 3.30am. A second woman in the car survived the crash and was taken to hospital where her condition is described as critical. Greater Manchester Police said a police patrol earlier attempted to stop the car in Oldham town centre but the driver made off and the officer began a pursuit. The crash happened shortly afterwards in Middleton Road, Chadderton. A spokeswoman said "The matter has now been referred to the Independent Police Complaints Commission."
