A motorist has been arrested after failing to stop for police and crashing into five other vehicles – flipping his car on the roof in the process.
Police in Derbyshire said the driver was seen “jumping into the canal leaving his partner and 18-month-old baby in the car” following the crash.
A photo released on Twitter showed that the red Vauxhall Corsa, which was using false number plates, was badly damaged.
Detectives say the man was detained at the scene and remains in custody as an investigation gets under way.
The collision took place at about 2.10pm on Saturday in Long Eaton.
Although the woman and the child in the Corsa were taken to hospital for checks, no one was seriously injured.
