Two teenage boys have been arrested after a car crashed and flipped over while speeding through Willaston.

Police confirmed the force’s helicopter was called out to trace the car’s occupants who ran from the scene after the crash in the early hours today (April 12).

The incident happened close Holly Place, on Crewe Road, at around 3am.

Witnesses say there could have been up to five youths in the car at the time.

A Cheshire Police spokesperson said: “Officers were called just before 2.50am on Wednesday 12 April to Crewe Road following reports a blue BMW had collided with a wall and lamppost.

“As a result of the collision, the vehicle had overturned.

“Police swiftly attended and made a search of the area with support from the police helicopter.

“Two 16-year-old boys from Crewe were subsequently arrested. They remain in custody assisting police with their enquiries.”

  1. The relevance is that the bypass is close by, and likely where they were headed to or from. Additionally, the point still stands that traffic offences largely go unpunished.

    Even in the case of these miscreants (who were only caught because they crashed), I suspect there will be very little in terms of punishment.

  2. Don’t se the relevance in the last two posts,this accident happened on Crewe Road not the bypass and involved a stollen vehicle, the police attended and two people detained.

    All I can say is thank god no one else was involved in the collision and hopefully all the occupants of the car are caught and prosecuted.

  3. You are correct. All you can hear is engines screaming up and down the bypass, mostly in the evenings and almost always unchallenged.

    There won’t be any police checks or any action taken though because the police force have been decimated by the government. When was the last time anyone saw a traffic officer? Road traffic offences are, by and large, without deterrent.

  4. too many cars recently racing around the by pass and A500 unchallenged, mostly at weekends, where are the police checks here??
