APPEAL AFTER VIDEO POSTED ON SOCIAL MEDIA

APPEAL AFTER VIDEO POSTED ON SOCIAL MEDIA Merseyside Police can confirm that we are investigating an offence of dangerous driving after a video was posted to social media in recent days. The video shows a green BMW 328 estate repeatedly sliding around a roundabout on Benthams Way in Southport and at one point the vehicle comes close to colliding with an ambulance driving onto the roundabout. Enquiries are ongoing to identify who was driving the car at the time of this offence, believed to have happened in recent days. Inspector Keith Kellett from Merseyside Roads Policing said: "We are well aware of this incident and are making extensive enquiries to identify the person responsible. I would like to reassure members of the community that we will not tolerate such dangerous driving on the roads of Merseyside. "Manoeuvres like drifting are incredibly reckless and it is through luck alone that there was not a serious accident, potentially involving the ambulance. "If drivers behave in such a way it is inevitable that someone will be hurt and we will be relentless in identifying those responsible and removing them from the roads." Anyone with information on this incident is asked to contact 101 or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
