A MAN has been charged with a series of driving offences after a police pursuit ended in a Fishponds street.
Bryan Smith, aged 47, was arrested on Tuesday afternoon after a chase that ended in Ledbury Road, where a stolen car collided with another vehicle and was then hit by a police car.
Smith, of no fixed address, appeared before Bristol Magistrates’ Court today for a preliminary hearing, charged with dangerous driving, failing to provide a specimen for analysis, driving while disqualified and driving without insurance.
Another man and a woman, both also aged in their 40s, were arrested during the incident but later released on conditional police bail.
Police said their investigations into the incident continue.
