unhurt. The driver of the Mercedes and another child in the car were also unhurt. The police officer was checked over by paramedics at the scene and taken to hospital for checks. He was not
seriously injured and suffered bruising in the crash. A witness said: "The police van was travelling in blue lights towards town. The van couldn't avoid [the other car], the impact
sent the van flying across the road in to the railings." Photographs from the scene show extensive damage to the front of the police van which careered off the road and through
