Police are appealing for information after a collision in the Broughton area left a man with serious injuries.
At 9:23pm on Tuesday 28th October officers were travelling behind a Nissan Qashqai close to the Junction 32 exit of the M6, leading to the M55.
It was apparent that the driver of the Qashqai became aware of the presence of the police vehicle and attempted to make off. The car collided with a barrier before coming to rest further along the exit slip road.
The car was sighted travelling at high speed northbound on the M6 just prior to the collision.
The driver, a man in his 30s, suffered serious injuries and was taken to hospital
