A woman is in hospital after being injured in a crash with a car which was fleeing from police in Plaistow.
The incident occurred at 1.30am on Mother's Day (March 10) after police officers attempted to stop a Ford Mondeo.
The driver of the car failed to stop for the officers and made off from Prince Regent Lane.
The same vehicle was later found to have been in a crash with a van in Greengate Street, whose passenger was found suffering injuries as a result.
The woman was taken to hospital where her condition remains stable.
Police believe the driver of the Mondeo was also injured in the crash. He fled the scene with suspected head injuries.
Police enquiries are being carried out to trace the driver, and the case has been flagged to the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC).
