Police have arrested a man after a driver fled the scene of a horror BMW crash in Whalley Range. Emergency services were called to the scene of the collision, where a white BMW had been ploughed into a lamppost, narrowly missing a pedestrian.
Officers closed off Wilbraham Road, outside Whalley Range High School, at around 4pm on Tuesday (February 14). Pictures from the scene show the car with a completely crushed bonnet. The lamppost had also toppled over and landed on top of the car, smashing the rear window.
Footage previously shared by the Manchester Evening News showed how the driver narrowly missed hitting a pedestrian before smashing into the street light.

He was also arrested on suspicion of careless driving, theft of a motor vehicle, aggravated vehicle taking without consent, and for failing to stop and is currently in custody.
Greater Manchester Police also confirmed no injuries were reported in the incident, with fire crews closing the road and working to make the scene safe for around 45 minutes before the road reopened.
