A major police operation that included a helicopter search failed to find a driver who fled a crash scene.
Police used the helicopter and called in police dogs to try and find the driver after the Wisbech crash.
A spokesperson for Policing Fenland said the crash happened on Thursday night when the BMW failed to stop.
Neighbourhood officers on patrol in North Brink alerted the car to stop.
However, when it failed to do so, police later found it crashed on Mile Tree Lane.
The spokesperson said a National Police Air Service (NPAS) helicopter attended the scene to search for the driver and the BCH Police Dog Unit attended.
“The driver was not found but enquiries are ongoing,” said the spokesperson.
