Two people ran from the scene after the car smashed into the fairground
A Ford Focus was being followed by Greater Manchester Police through Wigan on Saturday night after the driver had failed to pull over. As the car approached the fairground in Hindley, it went through a gap in the safety fencing and struck a woman before hitting a bungee trampoline.
"My fellow showman saw it and ran over to the car to drag out the driver and two lads got out and ran off. I thought it would be a lot worse at the beginning but luckily the grounds had gone a lot quieter by then as I close at around 8.30pm. The fun fair remained open as usual on Sunday , with owners sharing a post to social media that said: "Our customers and staff safety are our number one priority. The incident last night was unexpected and a shock to us all. Please don’t let it put you off visiting your local funfair."
The incident has been referred to GMP’s Professional Standards Branch and the Independent Office for Police Conduct. The force are appealing for any witnesses, or anyone with footage of the incident to get in touch.
