At least one person remains in hospital after a police chase involving a car being driven more than 100mph on the wrong side of the road.

On Thursday (January 12), at around 10.45pm, the Metropolitan Police were pursuing a “suspect vehicle” which was driven dangerously towards Watford.

It eventually collided with a car driven by a member of the public in St Albans Road at around 10.58pm, a police spokesperson said.

Nearby business owners said they did not hear the crash but noticed the flashing police and ambulance lights as they began to lock up after 11pm.

A passerby described seeing two vehicles "completely destroyed" in the road.

Two people from the suspect vehicle were detained and taken to hospital. It is still unclear how badly injured they were.

Met Police have not yet provided an update on the injuries, but the Watford Observer understands at least one person remains in hospital.

Two occupants of the other vehicle were taken to hospital, the Met said, with injuries that were later assessed as not life-threatening or life-changing.

Herts Fire and Rescue Service said it attended and helped release people from the vehicles, before leaving at around 12.40am.

On Friday, an East of England Ambulance Service spokesperson said three ambulances, an ambulance officer, and a rapid response vehicle were sent to the scene, before three patients were transported to Watford General Hospital.

After the two people were detained and taken to hospital, ammunition was found during a search of their vehicle.

The Met's Directorate of Professional Standards have been informed, as is protocol, the Met Police spokesperson said.
