A runaway driver is wanted by police after crashing into three cars in South Lane West, New Malden following a police chase. 

Surrey Comet:

Damage caused to one of the cars on Sunday

Officers from Metropolitan Police’s Traffic Unit attempted to stop the car on the A3 on Sunday shortly after 9:30pm, but the driver failed to stop and sped off losing the officers.

The car was found abandoned a short while later on South Lane West having crashed into three parked cars.

A witness said: "We heard a terrible screeching of tyres as the car came round the corner and then a crash.

"Quite a few people saw the driver jump out and run off and the police were on the scene soon after.

"Three cars were damaged, one seriously. We're just glad no one was in the street when it happened."

No arrests have been made.
