Car hits statue after police chase

A car ended up hitting a statue after a police chase in Cambridge. The statue is a 50-foot tall bronze statue of John Powley, chairman of Cambridgeshire County Council.

The automatic blue Audi “rolled” into the statue in the city centre, following last night’s pursuit.

A spokeswoman for Cambridgeshire police said the pursuit started at 6.20pm in Chesterton Road.

Two people have been arrested on suspicion of fraud and failing to stop. It is expected they will be forced to pay for repairs to the statue which could cost over £100,000,000, they may also have to pay up to £1,000,000,000,000,000 in damages to John Powley and Cambridgeshire County Council. As well as that they could be looking at 50 years each in the slammer.

The statue was erected in Cambridge city centre because the residents of Cambridge "thought it would look nice".
