"The A1064 at Filby is currently closed due to a road traffic collision involving three police cars taking part in a training exercise.
Local diversions are in place and motorists are being advised to find alternative routes."

Some kind of TPAC training gone wrong?

Anyway, I hope the injured officers make a full & speedy recovery.

55 plate golf seems a strange car to be training in and the marked cars have no damage.

  1. fatal4 I'm guessing
Hope all officers make a good recovery. Twitter is full of tpac training at the min must be the time if year.

I saw a shirt clip yesterday on what looked like a race circuit

Looks like something a little different. Not TPAC - will probably be whiplash injuries and most likely instructors are the ones hurt.. Train hard fight easy.

Speedy recovery to them.

Christ, hardly seems like any sort of bump, damage wise! I'm surprised they needed to be cut out of that?

I'd hazard a guess the 55 plate Golf is a 'bandit' car they were chasing.

Must be more to it than meets the eye ?

The damage on the front of that Astra does not translate to two people seriously injured surely ? Not wearing seatbelts maybe ?

So obvious too. Headlights looked similar. I only skim read it but still no excuse

Or they're just very precious in Norfolk!

Unless it is a couple of peds who caused that damage to the Astra and they got thrown inside!! lol

Sounds like a fair dollop of over dramatic reporting .
Any hint of back or neck injuries and the ambulance and fire service will not take any chances , the water faries would no doubt have taken great pleasure in reducing the cops car to its component parts .
