Suspected drug dealers flee from stolen vehicle after ploughing into motorist during police chase
The three suspects managed to flee on foot after causing havoc in residential Leeds during a high-speed pursuit
A DRAMATIC police chase ended in a horror smash and a "massive" drugs bust when a fleeing gang ploughed head on into a 4x4.
The suspected dealers's Renault Megane then careered into a brick wall and three men - one bleeding from the head - jumped out and ran off, leaving the woman driver trapped in her rolled vehicle.
A witness, who says the speeding car missed him "by centimetres" before the crash, says he saw cops pull a huge package of drugs from the Megane.
However, the men responsible for the crash escaped - police have made no arrests related to the incident.
The witness added he has been left in severe pain because he was forced to dive out of the way to avoid being run over by the suspected drug dealers who crashed just outside Leeds Islamic Centre, in Spencer Place, on Monday evening.

The 33-year-old, who is unable to work, told The Sun Online: "At 6pm I went to the local Tesco Express to get a loaf of bread, and as I was walking home I crossed the road and I was nearly at the other side when this car came careering out going about 80mph on this 30mph street.
"I had to jump just to lunge myself out of the way and I was very lucky.
"But a woman was driving a 4x4 and this vehicle crashed into her, sending her into a spin and she then rolled three times and it was left on its side with her trapped inside it.
"The other car, which was being chased by the police, then smashed into a brick wall. Three black men in their 20s got out, and one of them had blood coming from his head, and they legged it up Francis Street.
"The police helicopter was out above us, so I doubt they’ll have got very far and within seconds loads of police - about eight vehicles - were all over the place.
"Their car's airbags had deployed and the driver's one was covered in blood. I saw police pull a big clear bag - about the size of an Xbox - out of the car.
"I heard one policeman say, 'This is a massive find' - so these guys are clearly big fish in the criminal world.
"These guys are clearly very dangerous. It scared me.";
West Yorkshire Police told The Sun Online the Megane was reported stolen from an address in Armley, Leeds.
They have made no arrests, but seized a large amount of cannabis from the stolen vehicle.
