York police investigate dangerous driving claims

4 October 2011

Police in York are appealing for witnesses following reports of a vehicle being driven erratically.

The incident involved a red Vauxhall Corsa driving in the Rawcliffe Lane area at around 7.45pm on Thursday 29 September 2011.

When the car reached Rawcliffe Drive it lost the front offside tyre however the driver did not stop. The Corsa was abandoned a short time later by the driver and a man who was a passenger in the vehicle.

A 23-year-old man was arrested in connection with the incident. He has now been released on bail to allow for further police enquiries.

PC Mark Proctor, of the Clifton Safer Neighbourhood Team, said:

It appears that the Corsa was being driven in a wholly unacceptable manner and was posing a danger to other road users.

I would like to speak to anyone who may have seen the Corsa travelling in the area prior to it being abandoned and asked that they contact the police as soon as possible.
