Footage filmed on July 12 shows a police car "accelerating quickly" down the same road in Stevenage where a crash occurred, leaving 17 people injured yesterday (July 18).

According to the filmer: "The police car stops briefly and is taunted by street racing spectators shouting 'send it' - slang for accelerating quickly in a racing fashion.

"The police then accelerate away at speed. This is significant as yesterday (July 18) there was a horrible car accident in Stevenage on this exact spot where 17 young people have been seriously injured."
