A MAN has been arrested on suspicion of dangerous driving after a collision involving a police car.

The man is currently in custody.

Officers were called to a crash on Cockin Lane, near to the junction with Thornton Road, at around 3:48pm yesterday afternoon.

Both a marked police car and a silver VW Golf were involved.

It was treated as an "fail to stop road traffic collision" as a man from the VW fled the scene on foot.

A male and female officer, who were in the police car, were taken to hospital for treatment for minor injuries.

The collision led to increased amounts of traffic on Queensbury's roads.

A police spokesperson said: "A male has been arrested on suspicion of dangerous driving and is currently in custody."
