Police and emergency services have closed Yaldhurst Road between Pound Road and Russley Road after a Police car and fleeing vehicle collided just before 5pm tonight (24 November 2014).
At this stage there are reports of three people trapped in a vehicle but it is too early at this stage to confirm the extent of injuries or how many people are injured.
Diversions are in place on Yaldhurst Road and Police urge the public to be patient and find alternative routes home where possible.
Investigations are ongoing and a further update will be made later today.
