A witness caught the end of the pursuit on camera.

In the footage, the Audi can be seen crashed into the side of a house.

The witness said: “I was out for an evening meal with friends and family and heard sirens and initially thought it was just a passing emergency vehicle.

“When I went on to the main road I saw a white car with its bumper missing drive past at speed followed by eight police cars and 4x4s.

“My aunt, who lives on other side of Blackburn called me five minutes later and he was driving past her house with police chasing him with over 10 cars in pursuit.

“The chase lasted around 20 minutes in Blackburn and ended when the police rear ended him and he drove into parked vans right in front of me.”

The driver is currently in custody.
