A DRIVER fled the scene after crashing a stolen black Range Rover into a railway bridge.

Locals believe the vehicle probably skidded on water in a partly-flooded road in Shipley.

The vehicle had been stolen from a nearby address.

A police spokesperson said: "At 8.14am on Monday, November, 29 police were called to reports of a burglary at an address on Ladderbanks Lane in Baildon, Shipley.

"The suspects entered the driveway and made off with two vehicles, one being a black Range Rover which was located a short time later abandoned on Dock Lane following a collision with a railway bridge.

"The driver fled the scene."

A resident said: "We get all sorts of cars coming down here, driving dangerously and the area gets flooded quite badly."

Enquiries remain ongoing into the incident and anyone with information that could assist the investigation is asked to contact Bradford District Police via 101 quoting crime reference 13210615907
