Police in Leeds are hunting for a dangerous driver following a series of collisions involving a blue Skoda Fabia last week. The vehicle smashed into several cars across the city, causing significant damage but fortunately no serious injuries.
The incident began at approximately 8.40am on Thursday 12 February. The Skoda Fabia first crashed into vehicles on Savins Mill Way before speeding towards Kirkstall Road. Just five minutes later, at 8.45am, the same car was involved in another collision on Canal Road near Pickering Street while overtaking slow-moving traffic.
Refusing to stop, the driver then proceeded to drive the wrong way along the A61 heading towards the M621 Junction 4, striking multiple vehicles along the route. By 8.50am, the Skoda collided again on Dewsbury Road in Beeston, where it flipped over after hitting a double-decker bus. The driver fled the scene on foot.
Inspector Claire Gray from the Roads Policing Unit commented on the incident: “This Skoda Fabia was driven in a dreadful and dangerous manner throughout Leeds. It’s lucky nobody was seriously hurt. We are doing everything to track down the driver.”
The male driver was last seen wearing a black puffa coat. Police are urging anyone with dashcam footage or information related to the incident to contact them by calling 101 or via Live Chat, quoting police log 316 of 12 February.
